Great letter
My cats have been on both sides of this - they came into the house when I had Bichons and breed them! (but I do have great pix of one Siamese sleeping with a littler of pups)
After I lost my Bichons we went several yrs without dogs - so the cats weren't pleased initially when we adopted 2 yorkies.
Course the yorkies hadn't ever been with cats. Now my 17 1/2 yr old male Siamese likes to sleep with the dogs in their bed! Sometimes Roxy growls at him if he tries to snuggle too close to her!! LOL
