I've decided that the cats banded together to tease the dogs. I swear they used to play 'good cat, bad cat' with our three dogs til I put a stop to it. One cat, Ginger, would walk up to the dogs and be all lovey and friendly, rubbing on them and all. Then a little while later, the other cat, Amber, would come up, maybe sniff a bit, then whack the dog on the nose or on its side with a paw. Thankfully she's worked out that using claws for whacking the dogs would probably be a bad idea. The dogs all react to being whacked identically, they flinch back and go slinking off like 'what'd I do to youuuuuuu???' The overall effect of this game was that the dogs (poor Monsters), got all twitchy around either cat, because they weren't sure what the cat was going to do. Bear (lab mix mongrel, biggest dog in the house) got to where he'd stand outside the back door and bark til we told him it was ok to come thru the dog door. He was afraid there might be a cat sitting just inside waiting to ambush him. They've all settled down now, Ginger is still all lovey and snuggly with the dogs, often to their nervous consternation (hey, this weird puppy is layin' on me, what'll I doooo?) and Amber has settled down and even touches noses with them without anyone getting whacked.
