Cats and Dogs.

Does anyone remember that one? A computer animated movie that came out around 2000? I remember being at Dave's house and watching it with everyone; we thought it was the funniest thing ever.

The one productive thing I've done today is introduce Buddy to my cats. For those who don't know, I have two cats. The nice, pretty one is Emily and the mean, psychotic runt is Maggie. We've been keeping them in a room away from the dog so I could figure out a good way to introduce them. Everything I read said to be patient, take it in stages, blah blah blah. I have tried being patient by letting them see each other through the outside window, taking Buddy in the room on the leash, etc....and it was doing absolutely nothing besides making the spare bedroom unusable because it was the cat's room. Plus, the cats had been not in the best living conditions at my old place so I was not comfortable with leaving them in there as long as we have been. Adam's friend told him that when they introduced their cats and dog they just let them duke it out, and after a few scratches and hisses the dog learned to stay away from the cats. The internet told me this was the absolute worst way for pets to become acquainted. So, naturally, today I opened the spare bedroom door and walked away.

A few minutes later I came back in and cat food was spilled all over the place and Maggie was about two times her size in ruffled fur hissing at the dog. That was a couple hours ago. Nothing bad has happened yet...I keep hearing random pet noises and Buddy runs in and out of the room, but every time I go in there everything is fine. The cats are obviously taking care of themselves yet Buddy has not lost an eye. It's more funny than anything because Buddy is SO FRUSTRATED that they don't want to play.

I guess the internet was wrong.
