We used to have a dog and cat and the cat used to torment the dog something bad. The cat would start bugging the dog normally a claw swipe over his nose or a pounce on his tail and dig in his claws and then run out of the house with the dog chasing him out and round the garden next thing the cat would be back in and jump onto the chair just through the door - dog would come flying in and cat would jump onto his back and dig his claws in and 'ride' him round the living room! Then he'd jump back off and out through the door and up onto the top of the garage out of range of the dog. Dog would then be barking at him sat on top of the garage and eventually he'd give up and come back in the house and lie down in front of the fire. Next thing the cat would come back in and curl up in the dogs paws. By the way we werent predjudiced in our house - dog was called Sultan and the cat was called Nigger. Both black as the ace of spades. Also this was back in the 70's and 80's before everything became pc! Mum used to hate it though having to stand at the back door and shout for them both to come in!
