Bailey is trying to learn how to get along with a cat. Frank is not exactly an amiable cat, to begin with. He used to just turn around and take swipes at you with his claws or bite. He's 15 now, so he's much mellower...he actually seems to seek out a little bit of attention. But he's not enthused about having a lively little toy spaniel in his vicinity, on his TURF! Bailey, for his part, has the typical Cavalier King Charles spaniel attitude that everyone and everything is his friend, unless they reject him, or unless they make him feel threatened.
He's already learned to give ground to the cat. Frank's taken some swipes at his face, and I'm thankful he never hit an eyeball (as prominent as they are!). If I throw Bailey's toy, and it lands too close to Frank, Bailey is reluctant to go get it.
I think Frank is starting to relax just a bit, though. There is hope. They almost touched noses for a second tonight. I know Bailey got very excited to see Frank back after he'd been gone for over 36 hours...
