When I first got him and he was timid, the neighbor's cat would jimp in our yard and start to stalk him as I was yelling and coming right at it! He'd only run away just B4 I got to him. I took pictures of the cat in my yard and called Animal Control about it - they got that stopped but still I worry about cats and other critters getting into the yard with Tibbe. Somewhere along the way, Tibbe's timidity vanished and he will take on ANYTHING in HIS yard now. Even a larger Yorkie could get hurt by a fighting cat so I watch him when he is outside. Terriers will be terriers, as they say. |
I just checked him over for any injuries and he seems normal, No scratches to the eye, I think he just Pounced at it and grabbed its neck and choked it to death, I checked his eyes, Loss of hair, Nothing the cat did to him, I don't even think the cat stood a chance, My Yorkie has always had a love for ripping teddys apart, Now hes gone to the real thing...
The last time he was weight he was at 5.2KG that was 3 months ago, He is a year and half old.
EDIT: He is not over weight, He has always been a very big dog, The vet said on his check up he was one of the biggest she had ever seen but his weight was okay for his size.
