Bob and Max

This picture is the best photograph I have to illustrate the relationship between my cat, Bob, and my dog, Max. Although Max is not in this picture, Bob is currently looking at my dog as he always does. I do not know if Bob is just curious or if he just doesn’t like Max. Whatever the case is, Max feels threatened when the cat looks at him this way for some odd reason. After a minute or so after them staring at each other like this Max begins to bark and chase after bob as the typical cat dog relationship is pictured in the old fashion cartoons. I find this strange because, Max doesn’t have any problems with any of the other cats in the house. Usually when a dog has issues with one cat he ends up having issues with all other cats, but in this case Bob is the only one who triggers this reaction from Max. I don’t know what to do because no matter how hard I try I can’t separate them and I can’t get them to get along. I guess this just shows that there are some things in life that you just can’t understand no matter how hard you try to. In the meantime I’ll just do my best to get them to be in a room together without all of the tension and I’ll hope for the best.
