courtnek Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 my sons cat, Ford, is an escapist. I came home, and called the cats to feed them. he didnt come. this is not unusual, he shows up when he wants to and eats. Laurel the foxhound was antsy, looking and baying at the door. after 15 minutes, Ford still hadnt eaten and Laurel was still antsy...I searched for Ford. he's not in the house, and Laurel is still wanting to go outside, out front. I take Laurel out on her lead, and she starts dragging me down the street. this is not like her, she is very good on the leash. around the corner I see 3 dogs, no owners in site, thrashing at a bush. I hear a "mew" Ford cannot meow, all he does is mew. I know that mew, its Ford.I let Laurel go to the extent of her lead, she takes the other dogs on. I have never seen her angry, she is as gentle as snow, but she is growling, snapping and threatening every dog there, HER cat is NOT prey and they better get used to it. she drives them off. Ford comes out and I carry him home. Laurel follows and sniffs him every opportunity. they are both now laying on my bed. bottom line, hounds are not always bad with 'PREY ANIMALS" under certain home circumstances they will protect them.

JackieMaya Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Good girl, Laurel! I love hearing stories like this where one animal is so caring and concerned about another animal (especially of another species!). Give them both extra scratchies from me tonight!

DogPaddle Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Awww, that is a great storey. My mum's 25lb cockapoo once protected my 5lb c@t from a 18-20lb tom that wondered into our yard while Mroo was tied out. He looked like standing between them was the last thing he wanted to do but he wouldn't move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
