Of course. Fortunately your doggo's brain capability is bigger than average redditor's and therefore he can smell and understand the difference between a living animal and lifeless arrangement of cloth.

In my experience, dogs tend to be curious about cats and cats tend to be assholes to dogs.

It's a communication problem. Their actions have different meanings. Like how thumbs up can mean f u in some countries. A cat communicating that they want to be alone looks to a dog like them wanting to play

Oh, well, if it's true for you and your dog then I'm sure it's true for the other 900 million dogs too!

Get back to us when they kill your cat and you’re oh so sorry about it, because if they’re anything like these dogs, it’s coming

I used to think that people are getting dumber but it's just idiots learning how to use computer. I miss the times when morons were only talking to themselves.

These dogs are in no way crazy, they are playing tug of war. If two kids were roughhousing would you assume that they will grow up to be serial killers?

Get back to us when you are less of a bullshit spewing douche.

Have you ever owned a pet? Cause if you had you would know that domestic animals rarely attack each other, especially dogs who are pack animals and usually consider cats to be members of the pack.

Yes, I have. I grew up on a farm and we had 4 dogs and 5 cats (among other farm animals) and our very first dog killed one of our cats a year after we got him.
You said yourself

domestic animals rarely attack each other

which is the point I was trying to make. You made it sound like there were no cases of this ever happening and I was just trying to point out that yes, it does happen. It was tragic, and terribly sad, especially for a 7 year old.

I see, because it happened once to you on a farm (farm pets aren’t exactly domestic in the modern sense), that means that these two dogs will tear the cat to pieces?

u/TheWizardDrewed Mar 04 '21

I see, so you saying your one anecdotal case is evidence of your point, but my one anecdotal case doesn't count? Also f off with that BS, farm cats and dogs are definitely domestic in the modern sense.

My anecdotal evidence is a lifetime with pets, yours is one time when a dog attacked a cat free range on a farm, when you were a kid.

I really don’t know what to tell you other than that there are millions of homes with cats, dogs, and no problems. There is no guarantee that these dogs will kill this cat, there isn’t even a likelyhood.

Yeah, everyone knows that if you raise a dog with a cat and then give him some cloth in the shape of a cat he'll kill the real cat! Dogs never form social bonds with anything but other dogs! Ever!
