Noodle (the dog) and Sam (the cat) were playing yesterday. Well Noodle was playing, Sam was trying to kill his adversary:

thats quality. would love my dog to be playful with others like that. instead she feels the need to bite anything with 4 legs :wonder:

Crakcing pics Rob!, love the cat's expressions and also the "smother" shot by Sam!

I'm guessing really fast shutter speed!

Yes - the first one's a bit blurred, had it on auto, the others I set to 1/200 of a second and just kept snapping to see what would come out.

Noodle's really gentle with him - she moths his head and sometimes tugs his tail but never tries to hurt him. He on the other hand has claws out and bites Noodle's legs!

I remember many years ago when I lived with my Parents we had a Cat, The guy next door had a Long Haired Alsation it hated the Cat. One day the Cat was under the Hedge when the dog appeared, it lunged straight under the hedge the noise was so loud, Growling Barking Spitting and Hissing. The dog emerged we feared the worst, but no, the Cat was on his head holding on with all Claws, a trip to the vet was needed, and the dog lived with fond memories NOT.

I'm wondering if the cat in the 3rd picture is the same as all the others Rob?

Are you sure it's not some throwback to a long forgotten New Zealand lynx or something similar

Waiting for some witty caption for Sam in pic 3 - I eated a burger!!!
