Ruff and Tumble

Dec 15, 2011 By Layla

Most of the time, Max and Kit-Cat just lounge around the house…

But lately, they’ve started to meet up for body slamming sessions between naps…

(click the play button to watch the completely quiet/action-packed video below)

I guess this means Max is over the whole, “who is this weird little dude and why is he in my house?” thing.

    That is so freakin cute!! And to think you were going to give Kit-Cat away because you thought they wouldn’t get along:) what a great pair!

    Hi Layla-

    Cuter, Cute, Cute XOXO. I have s similar scenario going on at my house. New dog, Kindii that my daughter just brought back with her from Africa and the existing cat, Trax, that she brought home when she graduated from college- are ruff and tumble all day. They became buddies after about 2 weeks. Kindii had to go to the vet overnight and Trax has been looking for her all day. Pets are precious. XO

    Adorable…my kitty was sitting in my lap when I started it and he loved the video too….watched it twice 🙂

    Oh little doggie, just wait until that kitty is bigger than you! 😉 Our dogs love to play like that too, it’s cute to watch. I’m glad Max and Kit-cat have come to be friends. 🙂

    That is just too stinkin’ cute!!!! I hope you’re as glad you kept KC as we are:)

    They seem perfect for each other.

    Great video. My cat really enjoyed it too!

    I think we’re seeing the beginnings of a life long friendship!!!! Our cats and dogs have always been friends in the same playful way! I enjoyed watching Kit-Cat and Max’s gentle play!

    Very cute! Is it my imagination or did Kit-Cat strut back to the rug as though to reclaim his territory?

    • Layla

      Dec 16, 2011 at 8:09 pm

      Ha! I think you’re right! He totally strutted back to the rug to reclaim it! 😀

    I like how kit-cat goes back to lay in wait on the rug.. too funny!

    Love it! Looks like Kit-Cat was meant to be part of your family.

    Oh my goodness that is so sweet. I’ve been longing for a kitten for a while now and this made it much worse! 🙂

    They are soooo cute. They look like they’re getting along. We had a cat first, then the dog. They didn’t get along. It was like the wild kingdom!

    Too cute! Just melts your heart 🙂

    I love to see a dog and cat together! I used to have a black lab and an orange domestic cat. I called them my Halloween duo. They took awhile to get used to each other, but once they did, the cat would curl up against the dog’s belly on the dog bed. So sweet.

    They’re adorable!! How nice they have each other as playmates!

    Brought a bit of a tear to my eye. Your kitty looks like the kitten I had for a few weeks when I was in 4th grade. We had to give her away but she went to a great home on a farm (for real, he was my old bus driver, not that farm parents tell kids about!) 😉 Your pup reminds me of our girl who was a toy fox terrier but was always mistaken for a chihuahua. She and my mom’s dog used to play like that. Thanks for posting!

  24. Cris

    Dec 15, 2011 at 8:54 pm

    Love it! And to think that in the beginning you were worried that they wouldn’t get along. 🙂

    Glad to see Kit-Cat’s leg is A-ok! I have a 13 year old Diva Lhasa, and a 2 year old cat. Both are rescues from the clinic, and I wasn’t sure how my cranky pants dog would take to a young, and badly injured kitty. I’m happy to report they’re best buds and often can be seen playing and frolicing just like your two cuties =) I love interspecies playtime!

    So cute, I love how Max spins around, lol!

  27. Loribeth

    I wish our cat and dog would play like that! Yours are so quiet about it!

  28. Chris

    Dec 15, 2011 at 11:25 pm

    Is it weird that I could have watched another 10 minutes of that? They were so quiet! I thought Max might bark or something–it was too funny! Love seeing them together.

    • Layla

      Dec 16, 2011 at 8:07 pm

      Not weird! I literally go into trance-mode when they start wrestling! Can’t. Turn. Away! LOL! 😀

    AWWW its like it was ment to be. They get along great play fighting and all….lol

    They look my dog and cat!! They are so much fun!!!

    I can see them each thinking “He’s ok, but he doesn’t quite know how to play like a cat/dog.”

      lol-so cute. my 5 yr old loved watching and was giggling. i kept hoping you’d pan up to get a video glimpse of the kitchen though…have you thought about a video tour of the house? {hint} 🙂

    Soooo- cute! I think they’re buds! Kit-Cat looks great now! What an amazing story!

    How cute! So happy you could keep Kit-Cat…he is adorable! We rescued a tuxedo kittie from our neighborhood last Jan. to keep him from becoming a catsicle. We were going to put him up for adoption, as we had 3 cats of our own. He was injured and a mess. We had to keep him after investing love and time( not to mention money!). He is huge and makes us laugh. Glad Max has adjusted!!

    my critters do the same! however, it is a 32 lb beagle versus a siamese cat so there is so much more damage…but the hilarity is definitely there!

  35. Lisa

    Dec 16, 2011 at 11:04 am

    So thrilled to see they’re getting along! When you originally posted that you were trying to find a home for Kit-Cat, I wanted to adopt him so badly, but we live in California, so that wasn’t going to happen. But we did go to the local shelter and adopt a 6 month-old tuxedo that week, and he’s been a delight! Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hi! We have a chihuahua-Keta and we have a new kitty that found us–pretty much the same lost and found way–his name is Ricky..the two of them are best of friends and definite WWE partners. Then after they are done….Ricky the cat washed Keta up…and takes a nap on him! LOL Thanks for shareing…it is the simple things that really are cute.

  37. Maggie

    Dec 16, 2011 at 11:25 am

    Awwww they LOVE each other. That video is the cutest thing. I am so happy you rescued and then keep Kit-Cat for your own. He is going to have a much loved life with Max and your family.

    So sweet! I love it that Kit-Cat keeps his claws in and Max doesn’t bark while playing. That’s a great sign of their friendship. Best buddies.

    Layla,
    This is absolutely precious! I’m so glad you two rescued Kit-Cat. We live in Alabaster, AL, and I was definitely doing some heavy consideration if you couldn’t find a home for him. I was wondering something though. I have two small black pups (Jack & Charlie). I absolutely love your house, and how all the white makes things seem more open. How in the world do you combat all the black pet hair? It’s the only thing keeping me away from all the beautiful white!

    • Layla

      Dec 16, 2011 at 8:05 pm

      Hey Courtney!
      We’ve actually been pretty lucky with pets that don’t seem to shed a whole lot, and the only white fabric we have is on the bed in the reading room. Everything else is pretty colorful or earth-toned…perfect for furkids! 😀

    KC is such the panther! Ours do that too though much louder and it usually ends in a reenactment of the Indy500 around the house.

    I love the way they look at each other then go for it! So Cute!!!
