Dog meets Cat

So a couple days after we brought Autechre home, we decided to give him and our dog Teeka a good little meeting. Teeka doesn't have a problem with adult cats but I've never actually seen her with a kitten. So I was a little nervous, considering how much smaller he is compared to her. So, out Audi came. He sniffed around a bit then bounced over to Teeka. He seemed to be a little scared of her at first, I'm pretty sure she looked like a giant to him.
They where doing well. Sniffing one another, and Audi seemed to love rubbing all over her. Then suddenly, he bopped Teeka in the nose and ran under the couch. Teeka took off after him which gave me a moment of fear: "...Is she gonna eat him?".
Teeka stood in front of the couch, waiting. Every now and again Autechre would pop his head out like a jack in the box and then go right back in. Then I noticed Teeka started to wag her tail and bounce around a little bit. Everytime he popped out, Teeka would bounce around and paw at the ground in front of him. Then she started to bark. But it wasn't a big girl bark. It sounded almost like a puppy barking.

From that moment on they've been best play buddies. Teeka is not a young dog, and to see her bouncing around, tail wagging and playing with this kitten yet being so gentle towards him is amazing. If she chases him into a corner, she sits down and let's him run again. When she paws at him, she's always very careful and never touches him.
He, on the other hand is a little jerk and enjoys grabbing her tail and bopping her on the nose. Or grabbing her behind. And she doesn't seem to mind one bit. She loves playing with him, and they will hopefully be best buds.




Hopefully, him and our resident grouch Molly will also get along the same way. Or at least tolerate one another :D
