This is very rare.

They like each other: there's no real hostility

But Nikko has been having trouble learning how to share space and affection with a cat.

He uh. Likes to loom over her and lick her.

Or put his chin on her.

She does not appreciate this.

Unfortunately when she runs he decides that's an invitation

And when she smacks him - even with claws out - he thinks that's a fun game.

So it's being. Slow.

ah the inherent disconnect between cat and dog body language

mistakesweremade - sometimes it is Rough. Or ruff.
