Yeah, I've got a grudging admiration for cats...their M.O. seems to be to take the bully on hard and early, and then call a truce.
Curly Bill (wifes cat at the time) met Bonnie Jean Mirlu (husky cross Samoyed puppy), swiped here across the eye (vet bills for that), and were sleep together mates after that.
Have seen cats climb on tables and garage roofs to jump down on dogs to get that first hit in.
Dogs square off and size each other up before duking it out.
