Don’t worry about me. I don’t think I could arm wrestle a toddler, but if I did, he wouldn’t eat me — too old, tough, and definitely not lean enough.

I oppose inter-species relationships!

Seriously, very nice videos. Thanks.

I dunno - those two-year-olds can be feisty.

Maybe the saber-toothed tiger is embedded in our genetic memory and that’s why most men don’t like cats.

i have never understood how they used the fangs. did they actually open their mouth wide enough to sink the fangs in? how could that work, seems like you would have to bite down all the way thru the prey animal.

It’s just amazing that this dog and the cats should be so loving.

How in hell could they even eat with those huge fangs in the way?

We once had a cat and Chihuahua that got along very well together, although not nearly as much as those two in your video. They would sleep together in the same little wicker bed.
