Buddy and Nikki first time meeting

Nikki is 15, and this is the first time she has ever met my sister in laws

Cockapoo puppy(8 months) Buddy. Buddy has never seen a cat before,

let alone met one this close! Nikki has never lived with a dog.....unless

it was before I found her....she was only about 9 months to a year when

I rescued her as a stray in Feb of 1996:) I know she seems to hate other

cats....if she sees one outside she growls like a demon! I had Buddy on a

leash and Nikki was loose in the airconditioned bedroom...this is here

space. When she saw Buddy she jumped down off the bed and walked

right up to him with absolutely no hissing or hesitation! Luckily Buddy was

a perfect little gentleman and was quite calm.....especially since he is still

a puppy! Nikki was totally comfortable around him....she was even purring

and walking up to try and rub his face:) She acted like they had always

been friends! I still can't get over how this turned out.....she is such a

amazing cat! She acted the same when she met Sammy, but Sammy, being

a herding dog (Sheltie) got a little excited.....Nikki still likes him too!
