Animal Instincts

I’m sitting here with my giant golden retriever puppy (Buddy), my fairly young cat (Sasha) and her less-than-a-month-old kitten (Spot). The mama cat sat down beside me, right in front of where the golden retriever was sleeping. The kitten, smaller than the dog’s snout, crawled to nuzzle up to mama, and had to rub by the dog’s nose to get there. The puppy, who is almost as big as I am, just sniffed the kitten and moved her around a little. It was a fairly tense moment for me, but that dog is really good. The funny thing was the mama cat. She was staring at that huge animal (who was sniffing what could potentially be his dinner), and you could tell she was thinking, “There’s something ain’t right ’bout this.”
