Well Twist doesnt look much like a hunter in this pic
Pegasus aint scared of him.

You know I have 3 three seater sofas and everyone has an animal on while I sit on the floor

Gosh Twist is very tolerant! mine chase our cat Leo at any geven opportunity which luckily Leo (the cat) seems to make great sport of.

He looks very contented. I imagine that are loads of advantages to getting an older dog.

I don't have a cat, but was working at home once and heard barking from the garden, a cat had come in and Murphy was about 2 ft in front of it 'talking' and wagging his tail. The cat was hissing and lashing out and he just wanted to play.
Years ago when we had Lurchers we were walking in the middle of nowhere and a cat got up and unfortunately they caught and killed it.

We pass cats daily and they are asleep on their driveways and Murphy has a sniff and walks on, wouldn't trust him if it was running though!!

We are lucky as we have no cats living around us (they have probarly all emigrated!)so I really do not know how my lot would respond to seeing one, however I bet in wouldn't be in a nice way

Yeah he is great but the silly sod moves away from his food bowl when a cat goes near it. Our cats dont run but I think they would be chased if they did.

My Lurchers will chase other peoples cats but not our own three. I guess they have just all grown up together. My Deerhound cross quite often goes to sleep with one of my cats asleep on her head.

Yes, you would think that Twist has been here forever really. He just saught of fitted in from day one. Odelle took a little longer to settle but like Twist, she is now just one of the gang

When I feed the dogs I supervise to make sure no one interferes with anyone else's dinner. Now I find I have to protect Xena's bowl from Kaja as she will try to eat her food. Last time she got that close, all I could hear was Xena growling and I thought she would take her head off. So now I stand guard to stop the cat as she makes Xena inhale food quicker than the previous gulping.

I have a couple of cats, one grew up with my Lurcher, Aeriss, when she was the only dog I had, when I got Alice, my first Deerhound, Aeriss would jump to the defence of the cat. Now with the three dogs, they all get along together, except when they're outside then the cats are mostly fair game. The three put me down in the dirt and pulled me about 3 or 4 feet when we suddenly came upon a cat on one of our walks. Needless to say they were given a good "talking to". They are much better but are always on the look out when ever we come upon a place they have seen a cat. Up go the ears and tails. And I have to remind them to leave it.

It is the same in my house cats and dogs are very friendly with each other.
Norbert (dog) and Frank (cat) are good friends and play all day long. Norbert is born 080910 and Frank 080831.

My Cailean would like to think she is a great hunter especially on what we call squirrel patrol, see attached ferocious looking pic of milady surveying her kingdom. I do hope to be able to introduce a cat at some point. We lost our 21 year old feline last Jan. he was terrified of Cailean she tried to crawl on her belly to make friends, he would have nothing of it.

Great expression

Re:Who said that Hounds are hunters? 3 years, 4 months ago #4018

Our squirrels are known as 'tree rats'. Every day our busy little furry friend scurries across the fence, Murphy too goes on tree rat patrol.......one day....
