The tension was… palpable.
Kill or play? Kill or play? Kill or play? Kill or play? …
Makes a decision? Oh, the dog was getting a bop, no two ways about it. The cat was just savouring that sweet impending violence, for the actual moment of swatting is all too brief.
The dog knows it’s coming. You can practically hear him thinking “don’t do it…don’t do it.”

Well, what else are house pets supposed to do all day? Sleep? Check out all the smells they already know? Look out the window? Chase their tails? Bark at the mailman? It gets boring, time to spice things up with fisticuffs, err. . . paws-ticuffs.
Just look at the size of that doggo’s noggin, just achin for a boop

They have a “history”. You can tell.
We have a tuxedo cat that does the same thing to our other cats (as we have no dog). But she’s quicker on the paw.
I love the look on the dogs face after the swat/nip. It was like “I hate it when he does that”.
