I tell my dogs and cats...why are you notifying me of something that happens..often..:-)
My little black cat has is a better protectoer than my shepherd, terrier and my rotty-mix.
Nobody meses wirh him. He's bad..real bad.
Funny thing, Elsa, the shep, can flip him around ..playingly. No problem. Terrie, the terrier mix can get away with just being in his path...the rottie-mix (Duke-adopted son's dog)...huge dog...that cat will not put up with him coming back in after going potty.
Whoa!! He (the cat) creams him ( the dog). The dog just walks away , scrinching up his claw slapped face and ends it.
He knows better.
I see that there's never a dull moment at your house! We had a black cat that adopted us, and the kids named it Tyrone. Funny thing though....after becoming a member of our family, our Tyrone had a little family of her own, a litter of little look-alikes. LOL
