Cats and Dogs- An unsual Friendship


A game of ‘run and chase’ is what comes to our mind when we think about cats and dogs together. A friendship between the two is unimaginable to many of us. Our thoughts and views are conditioned by what we see in the media, read in books and hear from the people around us- And most of them present to us a view that a cat and dog friendship is impossible. But, here are a few examples that have hit at preconceived notions and the popular saga of a dog and cat enmity.

1.       Marley and Tickles: A cat named Tickles and a pup named Marley showed that with a little excitement and a whole lot of patience, a beautiful friendship can be formed. Tickles used to be the only pet at home, so it took her a while to warm to Marley’s giddy and lively demeanor. After a month of getting to know each other, they finally forged a friendship that includes lounging and cuddling together.

2.       Ruth and Idgie: Ruth, the cat and Idgie, the dog are an inseperable duo. The animals were found abandoned together where Idgie was protective of her feline counterpart from the start. Now, instead of being street fighters, they share a home together where they both enjoy playing with each other’s toys and licking one another.

3.       Kodi and Myshkin:  The story of this cat and dog friendship begins when Myshkin was only a 10-week-old kitten. Kodi immediately took the kitten under his wing- he would allow it to climb on him and make herself comfy within his coat. The dog was even patient with the clawing and biting that kittens are so prone to do. The story doesn’t end here….when Kodi became sick with cancer, Myshkin did not leave his side and even protected the big dog from stranger dogs that tried to enter their space.

4.       Jasper and Bow Z:  Jasper, the cat and Bow Z, the dog have such a strong bond that when they are apart for a few days, they greet each other with a hug! These buddies are viral on social media too!! A video of the duo meeting after a 10-day hiatus has become a sensation on YouTube.

5.       Charlie and Scout: Perhaps this isn’t the most cheerful cat and dog story. Charlie, the dog and Scout, the cat were great friends. They would eat, cuddle and play together but fate had something else in store for these pals who could not remain so for a very long time as Charlie passed away. Now, Scout watches YouTube videos of Charlie and curls up to the monitor to go to sleep- a heart-melting sight indeed!

You come back home from work and find your pooch lying in a puddle of blood. Panic strikes and a series of questions run through your mind. Is your dog experiencing a seizure? Did he swallow something? Your mind has never betrayed you like this before. You are scared out of your wits end.... what should you do next? A dog vomiting blood is a pet parent’s worst nightmare come true. But, no matter how anxious and confused you may feel, it is important to calm yourself down.
