Neighbor Marla saw the bump a day before I did. As she walked dog Albert, Cat (the one we pet every day) came onto the road and bumped noses with Albert. I was with her the next day when the action began to unfold. I was not quick enough to get out my camera, and so missed the shot. As John and I walked today, I told him I had done things out of order and forgot to pick up both camera and phone. I said, “If I need a camera, I’ll have to use your phone.”
Wouldn’t you know, on the way home we caught up with Marla shortly before Cat appeared. As the animals eyed each other, I asked John for his phone. I fumbled finding the icon for the camera, and I was sure I was going to miss the moment. In a split second it was done. They didn’t approach each other again. It was luck! Pure luck!

This is wonderful! You got the shot and the story to go with it. Nice.

Stories are easier than photos, especially when the action is fast-paced.

We had three cats at one time years ago, and they hated each other until the day they died. I’ve not had experience with dogs and cats together. The first few times Albert and Cat saw each other, the cat was in “scared” mode. Thanks for reading and commenting. Have you had cats and dogs together?

You are a smart photo journalist. You know what to expect and are quite well prepared for the action.
Did they fight by the way ?

The first two times the dog and cat saw each other, the car was on the defensive. They may yet be friends.

Now that they are fast friends, next they’ll be doing a “fist bump” when they meet. 🙂

We are trying to bring a kitten into our two shorkie home. So far, has been tense to say the least, but I’m trying to make it work. Between my husband griping and one of the shorkies barking and snapping at her, it’s been tough. Moments of peace like now when they are all napping are wonderful.

If cat and dog can do it, why can’t we?

You asked a very deep question, David. I wish we could all get along, though I’d rather bump noses than smell rear ends.

What a heartwarming thing to witness. That is a great picture, and it means so much that the two are able to greet one another.

I hope their friendship develops nicely. Have your posts dropped off my radar? I’m always afraid the fault is mine if someone drops out of sight. I’ve missed you.
