Animal Friendships
Jodi Webb
Do cats make friends? I’m sure it’s possible but I’m a doubter. Simon and Maggie have never been friends. In fact, Maggie—despite being a dog and twice as big as Simon—has always given him a wide berth. Yes, our dog is afraid of our cat. Some people would say it’s just that cats are solitary animals while dogs are pack animals who live by the more the merrier adage. But is that right? After all feral cats live in groups. Friends of mine have a dog and cat who live happily together—they even take naps together. We just have to face facts, some cats are friendly and some are NOT. Some will go to any lengths to defend their right to a solitary existence. If you doubt that check out this photo of a cat defending his territiory.
