re: The difference between cats and dogs

When we brought them in the same room the dog was so focused on us and just having a ball that she was being held onto like a baby and had no idea a cat was lurking in the shadows with laser focus on the dog. The cat never blinked or broke focus. If it was up to the cat she would have killed the dog before the dog ever even noticed the cat was there. It’s fascinating to watch cats hunt and take advantage of their predatorial instincts and agility.

This depends on the dog. My Aussie Shepherd, who was a notorious cat slayer, loves our inside cat since she tended to the cat when she was a kitten. My outdoor cat is a "dog swatter." He used to swat at the Aussie and miss, but one day he hit and I had to quickly intervene to save the cat. He no longer swats the dog.

My Aussie is a vigorous and focused patroller, and is far more intense than a cat. But, the cats do have more finesse at hunting.
