Way back when Kaji and I still lived in Irvine, I would let him off leash as we round the corner back to our condo when coming home from a long walk. By then he'd be tired of the walk, plus playing at the park with all the dogs that were out walking. One day, he surprised me and sprinted over to something. It was a cat that was twice his size. He started his lets play dance, and jumped all around in front of the kitty. The kitty just sat there, very still. Kaji continued his "hey buddy, let's play dance" yet the cat just sat motionless watching him. Kaji finally noticed, walked over to the kitty. I swear, I thought I could read his mind. He said, "hey man, are you ok?" While slowly walking up to the cat to investigate. That's when the cat swat him in the face! The cat got a fist full of fur, and Kaji ran right past me, and upstairs to our condo. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson, but he still tries to interact with cats, possums, skunks... Anything he thinks will be his friend.
