RE: Weekend-engagement week 19: Pet pondering

Happy weekend dear friends
Since I was a child, I have always had a love for cats, they are my favorite pet. One of my cousins gave us some time ago one similar to the one we have now, but it was more beautiful. Unfortunately, one day he disappeared from home and we did not know more about him.

Our sons Edgar and Adrián were crying over his absence. Years passed and a neighbor’s queen had some kitties and was looking for an owner. He gave us one and then another neighbor gave my son Adrián another. Two days after they were at home, Adrián's kitten, who was more restless, approached our dog Sari's while she was eating. Without thinking it twice she bit him, unfortunately the kitten did not survive. Adrián cried a lot and was very upset with the dog. Edgar, seeing him sad, gave him the other cat, so he was happy. The cat ended up having many names: Rays, Lian, Tiger and in the end we were calling him Misium. He also had several fights with Sari but with his claws he was able to defend himself and earn the dog’s respect. Currently, they are friends and they get along well.

From this photo it looks like neither car or dog is very happy about the situation although the dog is tolerating it quite well. It's a bit sad that your other cat didn't survive, I can't imagine dying from dog bites is a nice way to go, but at least you have the multi-named cat you have now and he seems to know how to defend himself which is good.

Haha. You're right. They get along but not so much as to pose for a picture voluntarily.

Thank you for your engagement on this post, you have recieved ENGAGE tokens.

That looks like my kind of cat. One that can earn the respect of the dog. It's sad that the other kitty had to learn a lesson about eating when the dog was. It's a pretty common occurrence, really.

Even Sam is pretty jealous of his food. He's got a friend Rocky that comes to visit from time to time. Rocky is welcome to all the water he can drink but he best not stick his nose in the food pan...

Haha. Food is sacred, eh?
I know some humans who defend their food like dogs (or cats), especially now that it is so hard to get.
That violence that they show sometimes, even when they are "domesticated" give us mixed feelings. I guess instincts cannot be controled.

Sam is really a mellow dog. Really. But he just considers it bad form when Rocky takes a bite or two :)
