Kitty!

[boxofdelights]

Very soft clean fluffy gray and white kitty in my back yard. Unfortunately my big dog was also in the yard, and she thought she saw a very large slow squirrel. I got between dog and cat and let the cat get to the fence, but this cat didn't know how to get over the fence. So I decided I had to pick the cat up. Cat was puffed-up and growly. I sounded like the man with two brains, flipping back and forth between, in my sweetest voice, "Nice kitty, safe kitty, I'm going to pick you up," and my stern voice to the dog, "No. Leave it." Fortunately they each got the right message.

Afterwards I realized that that cat does not seem to be used to being outdoors, and probably needed to be taken home, but at the time I was just rushing inside to wash my hands and face and change my shirt, because I am allergic. I hope it gets home safe.

Kitty will most likely get home safe. You did the right thing in removing the cat from the dog so that they both didn't hurt each other.

You pulled off a very challenging act of multi-species communication! I'm sure the cat appreciated having a fence between itself and the large interested dog.

Excellent work with bonus points because of the allergies.

Aw, good of you to handle things even with allergies.

I hope you didn't have too much of an allergic reaction. *hugs*

Speaker to animals!

I hope you didn't suffer any allergic attacks for the good deed of keeping dog and cat separated.
