It's called "cattitude!" And I also own a cat that rules the roost. Bob lets the dogs chase him down the hall but within seconds he chases them back and then there is peace. Dawn Sunrize GSD Love it!! We have 3 cats, 18 years old (2 of them) and 11 years old. So they have raised the GSD's and Poodles in my house for the last 18 years. After the first encounter, where the puppy always lost to the cat, we never had to worry about it again. Even the 1 1/2 year old poodles know better. Its called attitude. When the dogs watch the cats strutting their stuff they remember....<G> * Ileana * Inquest GSD's, Home of : BISS 3x Sel EX AM CH & 2x Sel CAN CH Karizma's Cacique of Inquest TC, aka DEXTER Kaleef's Expensive Date (major pointed) aka JACKIE and the Poodle Patrol, Bunny, Huckleberry and Doc Holliday Dawn Sedorus Sunrize German Shepherds home of Am/Can CH Sunrize Meg-A-Million Jeri-lan NAP and CH Legate Hill's Blazing Sunrize ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
