My dog doesn't tolerate cats.

It's too bad, because the two together can be so cute! I used to live with a cat named Mickey and a dog named Emmet. Sometimes, I would be sitting in silence and peace, and all of a sudden the two of them would come out of nowhere, tear through the room, upset somethings on the coffee table and then explode out of the room.

One of the funniest parts was that I'd never know which would be chasing which. Most of the time, it was the dog chasing the cat. But other times, the cat would become mischievous and would sneak attack the dog.

Often, it would turn into something that looked like this. Emmet would try to be close to Mickey, and Mickey would just be annoyed with his dog-ness.

They are so different, but when I saw the love between them, it was what having pets was all about.
