Dogs have often been called “man’s best friend” and history has proven that phrase true on so many levels. Dogs have been with those intrepid adventurers who explored the Arctic and Antarctic, they’ve helped our ancestors hunt down other animals for food or protection. And even in modern times, police dogs and service dogs save lives in so many different ways.
Even ordinary pet dogs have been known to be fiercely protective of their owners, saving even babies from harm, sometimes at the cost of their own lives. And it’s only natural that a long association with humans tends to sometimes elicit almost human-like behavior among these beloved pets.
Then, of course, you have cats.point 134 | It’s probably safe to say that cats live in a world of their own and when one has a pet cat, one often wonders if you were the one who adopted the cat or if it was the other way around (many cat lovers would insist it’s the latter!).point 331 |
There have even been funny memes showing that cats are more likely to just lick their paws and go to sleep even if their owner was lying dead beside them!point 125 | 1
Suffice to say, cats are adorable but moody creatures so you never really know how they may react. In human terms, it’s probably safe to label them as bipolar!
So consider this. You have dogs who are friendly and jolly attention seekers who pretty much enjoy a lot of petting and physical contact. Then you have cats who are moody, unpredictable, and often bristle at too much physical contact but are demanding of their needs. Bring them together and you have the perfect recipe for mayhem at the house. There’s a reason that the term “raining cats and dogs” exists!
Ohio native Kyle Debucky managed to record one hilarious interaction between his cat and dog that he says was the “10/10 funniest thing” he ever witnessed between the two of them.point 261 |
He was filming his dog Navi playing with his cat Fireball.point 48 | Navi was being the dog she was just nuzzling Fireball like there was no tomorrow.point 115 | Then suddenly, Fireball reacted as a cat would and just smacked Navi on the muzzle without warning.point 198 | 1
Debucky wrote on Facebook that “Navi girl and the perpetrator are actually really good friends” which is probably why Navi had an almost human-like expression of disbelief on her face at Fireball’s reaction as if she was asking Fireball, “Are you serious?!” And it really was the funniest thing to watch!
