Ever notice how cats just have this greater then thou attitude towards dogs? Kind of reminds me of the way most liberals in the MSM, academia, Hollywood, and most politicians (on both sides of the isle I might add) have anointed themselves as superior to us common folk in the hinter lands. They are always looking down upon us with their collective noses in the air.
Well take a look at the way this cat that is riding a Roomba vacuum and taking pot shots at the boxer in this video. Doesn't it remind you of the way the MSM will drive by and take pot shots at conservatives. It kind of gives a whole new meaning to drive by hit pieces. Whether you are a cat person or a dog lover, this video is bound to make you laugh your butt off. While watching the video you will most likely ask yourself, "There is only so much that dog will put up with before he nails the cat." Which is what 2010 is going to be like for the left, we have had enough of their drive by smarmy greater than though attitudes and we are ready to knock them off their tax sucking pedestal.

What is it about cats riding vacuum droids? YouTube is full of them.
Maybe some animal behaviorist could find dissertation material in examining the attraction.
Don’t get me wrong, I like cats, but I really wanted this sweet dog to pin the cat to the ground and chew it up!
Funny enough, I guess.
And I hate to be a really wet blanket on what ought to be a really fun thread. But what we see in this video is actually a really bad situation, and a gross abuse of a dog by its master, whom he/she trusts implicitly.
So I am going to try to use it as an educational opportunity. Sorry in advance for the hi-jack.
The person who took the film should not have been making those up-beat happy noises in front of the dog while it was being pestered by this vacuum-riding cat — the happy noises signaled approval for that the cat was doing. That will mess the dog up. With some dogs that could one day result in a dead cat, which in turn could end up with the dog put down as “vicious”.
Barrel of laughs, ay.
That dog showed remarkable restraint. Despite the unintentional “training” it was being given.
People, please: if you own a dog, you gotta be consistent. You gotta be fair. Your dog is constantly “training” even if you don’t think it is: it never “switches off”.
You gotta never ever ever be arbitrary or allow others to tease your dog. Not even cats on ride ‘em vacuums. For Pete’s sake take some dog training lessons — they can often be had for free from kennel clubs — read books if you have the time. If you don’t have time, post a HELP! Vanity here and I will help you, and so will other FReeper dog trainers.
Your dog will reward you with a long and happy and deeply rewarding friendship if you do the right thing by your dog. With its unconditional love.
Don’t please do silly stuff like what’s in this video to your dog. Just don’t. It’s not right or fair, and with bigger dogs it’s not even safe.
Here endeth the lecture.
Good advice.
Now, is there a kennel we can take the elite snobs of the human world to so they can learn how not to be like that with those of us in flyover country?

“Behind the woodshed” might be a good starting point.
Cute video! Cats definitely rule the house.
I am not sure what is so funny about that. It would have been great if the dog went after cat when they shut off that stupid vacuum.
Not kill him. Just toss him in the air a little bit.
Imagine the squeals the owner would have made then!
get some therapy.
