Sunny is a very patient dog, but there are limits when it comes to Car-E the kitten.
In this video, Sunny seems to tolerate having Car-E close, but only for a few seconds.
When he had enough kitten closeness, Sunny just got up and left.
At least, this time Sunny didn’t bark. He’s not one to bark much, so when he does I notice (see me flinch), but Car-E never pays much attention to the dog’s comments.
The only one who isn’t accepting the kitten is our other cat, Cruella. When Car-E came close to her this morning, she hissed and ran upstairs–that friendship might take some time.
Sunny would stay outside all day, even in this hot weather, if I would let him. I have work to get him to come inside. Usually, a treat does the trick, but sometimes he’s so stubborn he will forgo the treat so he can stay out longer.
Sunny came to sit with me on the back porch. He keeps a lookout for anything that may come into the yard, be it human or animal.
This day Car-E the kitten had been racing back and forth in the porch, but I couldn’t catch them in a picture together. The cat was just too fast.
If Car-E gets too annoying, Sunny gets up and moves. If Car-E continues to bother him, I’ll put the kitten in another part of the house to give the dog a break.
I believe the kitten and the dog will become friends, or at least Sunny will learn to tolerate Car-E.
It is so much easier uploading a very short clip of Car-E playing than it is uploading one of my 4-minute readings. DSL in the country can be so slow.
So here is another fun look at Car-E. Everything is a plaything for him.
When Car-E went to the vet I found out she was a he. Now I’m trying to remember that Car-E is male. Sorry if I make a mistake once in a while. After a month of living with her, it is hard to remember she is a he.
