Default Interesting encounter with the neighborhood cat...

So, I found this so intriguing that I thought I would share and get your thoughts. My lil' guy and I have been working soooo hard for the last two months on being able to go for a walk without him freaking out and barking like a maniac at all the people, other dogs, cats, rabbits, etc, etc. He is doing soooo much better (still a lot of work ahead, but really coming along ). However, the cat has still been a major problem. My kids want a kitty in the worst way, but he freaks out so bad when he sees the neighborhood cat that I didn't think it would be possible. Then today, I took Sebastian out to potty, and there was the cat about 20 feet away sunbathing on the sidewalk. I waited for the inevitable barking to begin, but he was silent . So, I decided to see how close we could get before he started barking. We started walking towards the cat and approached until we were about 5 feet away. Sebastian just stared at the cat and remained very relaxed. He sat down and him and the cat just looked at each other. The cat was very relaxed, and Sebastian was as well. Then we turned around and trotted home. Just yesterday barked and growled really bad at the cat...what do you think made today different? Anybody else have success owning a cat and a Yorkie together? Whose safety would you worry about more, the cat or the Yorkie?
