I don’t get to see Oscar that often since I moved out my parents and I miss his gorgeous fluffy face so much. I go back once or twice a week to see them all, but it’s so sad not being able to see him every single day like I used to. Bonding moments like when he hops on to the sofa, cuddles up to me and watch tv together (before drifting off to the land of nod) are rare now, as he doesn’t like to force it. If you pick him up and place him next to you, he will just jump right off. Affection are offered only on his terms.
They were not bought up at the same time as the cat is a lot older. Oscar is an exotic short hair breed and he’s 6 (human) years and Bonnie is a miniature poodle and she is only ten months old. It has been eight months since they first met and at first, I was worried they wouldn’t get on. I thought there was no way that cats and dogs would get on, like in the cartoons. I’ve now realised that that’s a myth! It’s a lie! Neither of them are at all aggressive in their personality, a couple of softies as you can imagine!
To my surprise, they became completely comfortable with each other within the initial two months of meeting and as Bonnie was really tiny when she came home with Mum, Oscar never ever felt threatened. There are photos of them together if you want to have a look! Sometimes, they even sleep in the same bed together now too! (So cute!) Bonnie, herself, has never been shy, so she immediately settled right in to the family! There is always the odd chase (but this usually occurs when the puppy is trying to show off in front of my Mum!) But they can be in the same room without a single ounce of trouble. Oscar is very resilient actually, and if he doesn’t want to play, he will sit there as solid as rock while Bonnie tires herself out by running laps around him. The cat just looks at her like she’s an annoying little sister! and you can picture how funny Oscar’s is with his constant “grumpy” unimpressed looks! They are really well trained, very friendly and so loveable! It’s safe to say that Bonnie definitely LOVES the attention more than Oscar!
I’ll be pet-sitting whilst my mum and dad are on holiday this Summer so keep your eyes peeled for an influx of pet updates on Instagram when I’m looking after them for a week! I can not wait to spend quality time with them! You can’t beat the feeling of getting fluffy cuddles from your beloved pets!

I love Your pet posts:) Oscar and Bonnie are precious little cuties 🙂 Glad they're getting on. I do agree that the unfriendly cat- dog or cat -mouse relations are a little bit of a myth. It all takes time and affection and it all comes down to the way your pets were brought up. My cat Muca and hamster Pandora were not the best of friends but there was no aggression involved, it was more o the interest on Muca's site, who was still a kitten when Pandora was alive. Unfortunately Pandora passed away (of old age) and after she was gone Muca used to sit down where she used to watch Pandora inn her cage. as to Pandora she was never concerned about the cat being around. But back at home I have dog and cats and they get on pretty well, so I'm sure Bonnie and Oscar will become the best of friends 🙂
Aww they're so cute, I hated leaving my family cat
I have two cats and dog and they're like best friends 🙂

Oscar is such a handsome chap and Bonnie is so pretty. I don't know what I will do when I move out of my mum's house, I will miss my cats and dogs so much!

Cats and dogs can relate, specially when they are "introduced" when both or one of them is puppy/kitten. My aunts dog doesn't really like cats yet, he really likes my grandmothers cat (my grandmother lives with my aunt) and when the cat was really small,the dog used to protect him a lot.
And omg Bonnie and Oscar are both so pretty <3
Take care*
Aw they are so adorable! Just found your blog and really love it! Would you like to follow each other on GFC, facebook and bloglovin to stay in touch? Let me know, thanks!
