Great stories! I had a working border collie Flash and a little grey kitten Kalamazoo who were the greatest of pals. The cat would lie across Flash's neck and clean his ears for him. The two of them used to play outside the house every day. You'd see the cat chase the dog one direction then the dog chase the cat back. One summer evening the cat came racing into the the house and disappeared under the couch. The dog arrived in hot pursuit but ebbed up at the shoulders. We then noticed the cat creeping round the edge of the room until she was right behind the dog who still had his head under the couch. The cat then pounced on the wagging tail of the dog, beat hell out of it with her back legs, then shot off out the house. When Flash felt his tail being attacked of course he tried to stand up, banging his head on the underside of the seat. A quick back up, then off out of the house to find that pesky cat! We couldn't move for laughing. Sadly both are gone to their final animal home but I still catch myself looking round for them.
