Of course the dog "minds" it. The cat simply has bigger claws.

I experienced a similar thing many years ago -- when there was only one sleeping basket belonging to a small, elderly beagle. A much younger cat decided to commandeer it, and would attack the poor old beagle if she attempted to climb in and share the space.

The beagle then howled endlessly in desolate frustration until a human came to shoo the cat out.

Another time, the beagle was already in the basket, asleep. The cat climbed in and made itself comfortable -- without waking the beagle. Later, the beagle seemed to have a dream (probably involving rabbit-chasing) and started kicking its back leg to and fro. That thumped the cat good and hard a few times -- until the cat had had enough and woke the beagle up in a rather violent way. Would have been funny if the beagle wasn't so old.

I can't see a thing. [STRIKE]The culprit is that the webpage the image was taken from has a protection transparent image to prevent people from clicking "copy image link location" or to save that image in one's computer for all that matters. It's a very old trick used in the past by web developers to prevent people from saving images (although it's very easy to bypass :rolleyes:). I find it weird that there are still people using that old trick nowadays.[/STRIKE]

EDIT: [STRIKE]What we are seeing is the decoy image.[/STRIKE]

EDIT2: It finally appeared the real one. And I was wrong.

EDIT3: No I wasn't wrong. Someone moderator found the real image and replaced it... Thought you could hide from me eh? Not so fast mojojojo. My computer science intuition reveals your actions. :)
