“You shall not pass!” Video of dogs that are terrified of walking past cats. In some cases, rightly so. (Via MLS.)
And remember the “Puppycide” Kickstarter relaunch? This time (yay!) they’ve made their more modest goal of $40,000 (which will fund a half-hour documentary, not the feature film they originally proposed). Now, with six more days remaining, they’ve named a “stretch goal.” Sixty thousand dollars will enable Oz Media to make a 45-minute film. Which is just right for a one-hour TV slot. If they get that much, they’ll be marketing the work to networks and TV stations.
WTF? I thought dogs was supposed to be chasing cats, like up trees and such?
So true. I’ve got two dogs….an old Black Lab, and young Border collie. Both of them are terrified of walking past the cat. The cat has the Old lab so cowed that he is very leery of even walking by a narrow place…..the cat has been known to ambush him.
The border collie outweighs the cat by three to one. The lab, about 10 to one. No contest if they would just assert themselves. Its as frustrating as it is funny. I call the dogs to dinner, but since the cat is holding court at the top of the stairs, they whine to have a human rescue them by standing by the cat…..
Gotta be a good moral lesson there somewhere….
I’ve been around some cats that even I wouldn’t walk past, LOL.
I wish I could convince our cat to take such a bold stand. He was finally getting over being afraid of our 3 dogs when we were gifted with a puppy. In one of the puppy’s prior homes, she had had a cat that played with her, so she tried approaching our cat at high speed with great enthusiasm, which totally freaked the cat. If only the cat would just once smack the daylights out of the puppy(now age 3 1/2,same size as cat) I think that calm would return to the order of things.
Honestly, a feature film is too long for a documentary to hold people’s interest. A 30 or 44 minute spot is just about perfect.
