Only a basenji…..(or a cat)

Basenji Talk
  • Went to the park near our house today, where they are doing some "improvements". We were unaware of the work that's been done, so we were walking our usual lap around the fence line & came upon an area that is under construction. Basically a bunch of bushes were town up from the banks of a creek bed, turning the area into a mud pit with a stagnant muddy water trench running down the middle. Lola ran straight up to the edge, kersplooshed right in, and then hopped out the other side. Booger jumped over the trench. All of the white on Lola was completely covered in dark brown mud that perfectly matched her brindle & made her look like a completely black dog. It was actually really freaky looking to see her with no white. She just had to run & try to play with Booger & paint him with mud in the process. We walked another lap to dry off, and most of the mud came off before we got to the car. They were both still pretty dirty when we got home, and we didn't have time to bathe them before we left for work.
    We got home tonight & they're both PERFECTLY clean. Very white white & beautiful soft fur. Andrew asked me if I had given them a bath because they seem so soft & clean. They must have cleaned each other. Awesome!

    @krunzer: Oh welcome to you and your B baby! Where in Canada are you? If you have a puppy and a Cat I am hoping that with the puppy growing up with the kitty that all will be well. Would love to see pics of your B if you can post some! To answer your question, I am from Montreal! To update on my basenji baby and my cat, all is actually going better than expected!!! I am so happy! My cat sometimes even runs after him and they play fight. And when he bites just a little too hard, she smacks him. But I don't think she takes out her claws, because he doesn't yelp or cry when she does it. All in all, after all the fear I had about them not getting along is working out!!! I am really happy!!! But he has so much energy!! haha I tried attaching a picture of him!! Hope it worked!! [image: attachment_p_155565_0_431220_10150728531252247_506372246_11886537_459347846_n.jpg]

    Both Abby and Cooper love my cat, love to chase him. He's pretty smart though he's know how to get away from them. We have our formal dining room blocked off with baby gates so he can go in there and eat and not be bothered by the dogs. Plus apparently Cooper looooooves cat food. Then again Cooper loves all food.

    After watching a show on cheetahs, I think that Basenjis are more like them than dogs, or wolves. They look to have the same light framed body structure, and like to stalk, and paw at things. Medjai also waits and tries to beat other dogs in a race at the dog park.

    =) That sounds much like our place just not nearly as spacious. Well, they appear to have been calmer but they're probably just messing with my mind.

    I am so glad to see I am not the only one dealing with this issue. We got Bella when she was four months old and the chase has been on ever since. She turned one year old on December 27th and I am still dealing with this. Eight months of cat chasing and I think I am going looney here. :eek:
