I love this - it's so fabulous they can actually be IN the same room! Darwin is so amazingly respectful of the cat's personal space... that's so fabulous.
Our cats own the family room - the dogs - accept Pippin who is an honorary cat - are forbidden. Buddy doesn't chase cats, but he wants too much to have a little chat with them, Kilo is a chaser and gets Buddy riled up, and is always with Buddy. Zeus the old man cat patrols the kitchen gateway.... and doesn't allow no fraternizing. I'm so sad for Buddy - he really wants a kitten of his own!
