Being off today I was watching the dachshund chase the mean female around, she got slapped with the claws and yelped then went back for more. Its funny watching them. The male cat is mellow.
I let them keep their claws for defense, the puppy can be mean. Even though the leather couch corner looks to be sandblasted from claw sharpening.
Greyhound = 70lb dog breed for thousands of years to chase down at over 40 mph a small, approximately 10lb fury animal.
Cats = Approximately 10lb fury animal.
The cats have learned to leave the dog alone.
