Cat behaves like wayward child and is dragged away from trouble by caring dog
Dog acts like parent to wayward child
This is an interesting video in that a dog acts as if he is the parent of a wayward child about to get into mischief.
The cat is on a lead but his/her owner is not at the end of it. The cat moves towards another cat and it looks like a dispute is about to start leading to a possible fight.
The dog, who must be mates to this cat, trots along and takes hold of the leash to gently but forcefully take the cat away from trouble.
It’s remarkable how similar the behaviour of both cat and dog are to child and parent. It is so carefully orchestrated it is almost as if they’ve been trained to do it. However it would be impossible to do that.
This is a nice example of interspecies relationships of which I am very fond.
