when we would have corn on the cob, we would throw the leftover cobs in the yard for the dog. well, we had one cat that beat up every dog in the neighborhood, including the retired police german shepherd a few doors down (the one that bit me because I walk funny. good cat). the cat would go lay down in the middle of all the corn cobs, and the dog would run around in a circle just out of reach of the cat. the cat wouldn't eat any of the corn, he would just lay there so the dog couldn't get any. it was hilarious to watch.

Cats have a sense of humour. It tends towards the slapstick.

My older cat does this to the younger one

She sits on the stairs and refuses to let him go up until he starts crying.

My cats battle to sit next to me. The older one always wins, but recently the younger one has stepped up and started asserting herself. I'm proud of her.

Same has happened here. While I am proud of the younger, more skittish one, it's also an indication of the old matriarch diminishing. I'll never be ready to lose her.

I could have written the same thing word for word. Love it

For the first half year, I had to escort my now-wife down my hallway with a broom or towel to fend of my cat who did not like sharing me.

And she had several cats of her own. When I warned her up front about my crazy cat, she was so cocky.

First time I left my spouse and cat alone, my cat trapped them in the bathroom.

I love that gutteral cackle from the Lower Cat.

My six year old saw this and said it was scary

Is the dog wrong?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Are you asking if the dog is the victim? If so, the answer is obviously yes.

Or are you asking if the dog is wrong on being afraid? Because from the photo, I do give it the point.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

No. But also, dogs are dumb. He's probably still on that stairway to this day.
