Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008Sweet Story
Who says dogs and cats don't get along? "Dog and cat's friendship continues after death Thursday, January 10, 2008 It was a friendship that could inspire a Disney movie. Oscar the dog and his best friend, Arthur the cat, were inseparable in life. So, when 17-year-old moggy Arthur died, Oscar was left inconsolable. Their owners, Robert and Mavis Bell, buried Arthur in the garden. But Oscar's love for his friend would not die – and during the night, he pulled the cat from his grave, carried him inside, laid him in the basket they used to share and gently cleaned him up. Mr Bell found the pair curled up together in the basket. He said: 'Oscar had watched me bury Arthur. They had been inseparable.' Arthur is now buried in a secure grave in the garden at the Bells' home in Wigan and Oscar has a new playmate kitten called Limpet. 'He's already very protective of her,' Mrs Bell said."

I could not stop my tears. I don't just love dogs for their loyalty, I _admire_ them for it. Their ability to form and keep friendships is wonderful. Our Bear doesn't just get along with our cats, although that is how i usually put it, he has varying relationships with them. Maggy May practically raised him and he treats her like his mom. He teases and barks at the others but also tries to groom them and they cuddle sometimes. When we meet Tucker, the spaniel next door, on our walks, it is exactly like two boys who live in the same neighborhood and who have gotten well past the need to posture or seek dominance. They frolic and act like they haven't seen each other in years. I don't think a house is complete without both dogs and cats. Our parrots are optional. Getting Oscar a kitten was necessary and a very loving thing to do. Plus the usual benefits of a bittie for the hoomins in the house.

After Scooter went to the bridge these cats were devastated. Piglet still runs to the front every time she hears a dog bark. In the spring I will get another dog, I miss the door bell benefit! Piglet still sleeps where scooter did on the couch. >> Who says dogs and cats don't get along? >> [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] >> Message posted via >> CatKB.comhttp://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/cat-anecdotes/200801/1 > I feel pretty much the same way.

The 2 girls came down the other day on their Scooters. I asked them if the rode their bikes and they both said "no, we rode our scooters. Piglet had been on the car tree and she jumped down and ran to the door. Nearly broke my heart when she figured out there was nothing there.
