Subject: RE: Border Collie - problem with
Sounds like you got a problem. We have 9 cats and 1 Weimaraner...he's now learned how to purr out of a healthy respect for claws. He and the Cornish Rex, a strange cat himself, have a symbiotic relationship. Dog stands and cat walks back and forth rubbing it's back and the dog's belly.

A friend of ours had a previously unknown aggressive dog that picked up one of their cats and after a healthy shaking, threw it about 10 feet into the wall. Luckily their neighbor across the street was a retired vet who came over since the cat was comatose. He asked Jim for a teaspoon of gasoline that he dripped down the cat's throat. It actually began to revive the cat!! Within a couple of minutes the cat was up and purring and then ran over to the sofa and began to become agitated..kinda' chasing around, but then went to it's favorite spot and laid down, very still. The vet went over to check and Jim asked if the cat was OK. The vet said, "Sure, just outa' gas."
