I thought I would post this funny story of my dog Fenway in Cat General because you "cat people" may get a kick out of it. Now, I have cats too. I'm a dog & cat person. So I don't want to offend any "dog people".
Anyhow, my dog Fenway spotted a chipmunk that ran into our stonewall in the yard. He spent 30 minutes running & jumping around the stonewall looking for that chipmunk - trying to sniff it out - digging holes - just trying to get the chipmunk out of the stonewall.
In the meantime, my neighbors cat was sitting 10 feet away watching Fenway and probably thinking, "what a crazy son of gun". Just then, the cat walked over to the stonewall, made one quick move and then started walking home with the chipmunk in his mouth!
And Fenway's sitting there looking at the cat and thinking "what the heck?"
This kitty had all the patience in the world while Fenway was just jumping and running around, trying to find the chipmunk. And all this kitty did was wait for the right moment - and....gotcha!
It just goes to show how much patience a cat has.
On the good side, the kitty let the chipmunk go and the chipmunk ran in a hole. So I think it's okay....scared to death...but okay.
Just thought I'd share.
