Long story short, we got a doggie back in December last year. She’s a grown doggie (6yrs old) but not all that au fait with kitties. Yes, we have a kittie, COCO, who is now about 3yrs old. We’ve had her since kittenhood, and it’s been her territory since… First off, Daff the dog charged Coco the kittie. Coco retreated to the garage for a few weeks. Then kittie came up to the verandah, giving doggie a few swipes on the way out the door. But NOW, kittie has taken up residence in the doggie’s room, daring Daff to walk past her to the back door, or otherwise to the kitchen for food. Poor Daff is beside herself with confuzzlement, not sure whether to go back, forward, or just hide under my legs. And the cat is LOVING it! She’s a righteous bitch, putting the poor doggie through contortions just to be a friggin’ bitch. I can almost see the cogs of her feline brain clicking over as she grins like a cheshire cat in supreme feline satisfaction. 😃 ---

Thread needs pics. Lots of them to illustrate the words. ---

In fact, with the right pics, thread doesn’t need words. ---

There’s a picture on this [cat shaming](http://www.boredpanda.com/cat-shaming/?page_numb=2) page that illustrates pretty well what’s probably going on there. It’s #23 as I type this. And if you hadn’t seen that page before … you’re welcome.
