Back in the early days of Living with a Golden, I invited guest bloggers to share their views. This included our kitty cousin, Misty. Unlike my current kitty cousins, Angel Misty wanted to take a paws on role in helping to socialize Asa. As we were amazed to find out, he needed a lot more instruction than we realized. Maybe this explains why our kitty cousins today, Vegas, Kaz, Koloa and Deniro ignore us?

Thunderdome: Puppy vs. Cat (February 16, 2015)

I know what you’re thinking.  Puppy sees cat, puppy chases cat.  But this is shockingly incorrect!  Let me introduce my kitty cousin, Misty, as our guest blogger to explain…

Since Chuck Billy first visited, we had an understanding.  I would tolerate his existence by having him chase me through my home, until inevitably he would get into trouble and be confined to the family room where I could safely taunt him from a distance.  Recently when Asa intruded on my peaceful kingdom, I assumed he had been instructed on the rules.  But much to my indignation he ignored me!  Cats have been worshiped for thousands of years since the days of the Egyptian Pharohs.  How could this inferior creature not do the same?

There I was poised ready for the chase so I could show off my sleek and agile superiority.  I was even hoping I could get his head stuck in the room divider like I did with Lemmy many years ago.  Yet Asa didn’t even acknowledge me!  I understand puppies are easily distracted, therefore I thought I would help the simpleton by making my presence more obvious.  But yet he continued to ignore me!  Even Chuck Billy’s instructions, barked at Asa from the family room at the opposite end of the house, didn’t clue him in on the proper etiquette.  Clearly there is something wrong with Asa!  Then again he is just merely a puppy, and not a cat like me.
