I never liked cats and i was petrified of dogs.
Story has changed 50% today; yes i still dont like cats!
But I strongly believe in "live and let live".
So initially when Dexter would chase a cat, I would always teach him to let cats be. Honestly I was surprised initially very surprised by this behavior of his as he is a very non violent dog (only creature he ever chases is mosquito; that too very unsuccessfully !) I thought it would be some genetic coding that makes dogs and cats not like each other.
So whenever I and he would go on walks I would always reprimand him for chasing cats.
Yesterday on our walk I saw a real sweet cat and I became alert, just about to put a leash on Dexy anticipating him to start his chase. But to my pleasant surprise my boy did not bother!
He just gave the cat, "could not care less" look of his and moved on. Just as we moved ahead, I can swear he looked at me smugly; like he was saying " gotcha !".
I really felt like a proud momma and floated a bit on the air for a as long as my humble weight allowed me (read as nanosecond).
I guess this boy would not stop to make my life full of fun.
But honestly till date I never understood why cats and dogs dont like each other and not only that it also gets transferred to cat people and dog people !
Some answers in life are best not pursued too much as the essence lies in guessing the answer, the answer itself may be mundane as the thrill is in the chase and not the catch!
but then what is life without a bit of craziness !
