Pics of Nikki on her walkies
Marina wrote:
There were a lot of d*gs out at the same time. Nikki mostly ignored them, but when she saw these two big shaggy things (I don't know dog breeds), she hunched down and stared at them with fascination. Suddenly she tried to set off towards them. I caught her up with the leash (I have one of those rollerflex ones). Fortunately, the d*gs were very well-behaved, and just looked at her with bemused looks on their faces. I think Nikki believes she is a lion or some other big cat, which is pretty ridiculous, since she is actually a very petite cat. She was seriously going to attack those d*gs, who were ten times as big as her - *and* there were two of them. You could have snapped a pic of the dogs and I may have been able to tell you the breeds. Laku's our first kittymaster and I've been a d*gperson until he came into our lives. It seems to be fairly common for some of our pets - cats or d-pets - not to fathom their own size. Either the small ones think they're big or then some Great Dane ("horse-size dog"), thinks he can hide under a foot stool, if his head fits underneath it... -- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Christine in Vantaa, Finland (Europe) Email: christal63(at)yahoo(dot)com Photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 |

My tiny mutt Sampson who never weighed more than 12 lbs. in his life always thought he was huge; once broke a chain and chased a German Shepherd down the street! Persia hates the harness and lead. I tried to get her to do walkies; she refuses. Jill |

CK had some very interesting things to say about

Either the small ones think they're big or then some Great Dane ("horse-size dog"), thinks he can hide under a foot stool, if his head fits underneath it... I once had a Sheltie who firmly believed he was a Doberman. Considering that he grew up with Dobes being senior in the canine heirarchy, it wasn't an unreasonable error on his part, really :-). [When I brought the puppy home, the two male Dobes we had both marked him as their territory. Nearly drowned the poor baby. :-) ] -- Seanette Blaylock "You attribute perfect rationality to the whole of humanity, which has to be one of the most misguided assumptions ever." - Alan Krueger in NANAE [make obvious correction to address to send e-mail] |

LOL! -- Marina I am blaming Sylvia for sending the previous mail :^). The story about the Great Dane reminded me of an Irish Wolfhound that I used to know. These are huge dogs (see the dog on the left at http://www.angelfire.com/space/anguswolf/ I often used to accompany her, her companion, a very small Jack Russell terrier, and their owner on their daily walks across the fields. When the dogs were off their leashes, if we met another dog, the Jack Russell would nearly always rush over to it and try to get it to play. The Irish Wolfhound, however, would run back to us as soon as she spotted the other dog and try hard to make herself invisible to it by hiding behind her owner :^)). LOL Sheenah |
