My Basenji is One Rude Kitty Cat!

Basenji Talk
  • Ok…this was my stupid husband....he is basically a big kid and thinks its fun to make what he thinks are funny posts...he does the same thing to my friends on AIM (has made for some interesting conversation!)..sorry about this one, I tried deleting the post, but couldn't figure out how...lol! I guess thats what I get for not minimizing the screen before giving him the computer!

  • LOL…I just thought you had forgotten to post a picture to go with the caption. It never gets any easier trying to understand male humor. You just need to post a disclaimer that any wierd messages have probably been posted by your dh or the dog.

  • It is kind of funny though. Alot of people have compared Indi to a cross between a Kitty and a Human which I think is kind of accurate. What do you all think?

  • Jack is TOTALLY more cat than dog….yesterday he was "stalking" a squirrel in the yard, and he definitely looked like a cat.

    Plus, I was telling my DH and a friend that people on here had posted pictures on here of their bs climbing trees, to which the friend responded, "What is he, some kind of mutant cat?"

  • 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.

    You're doing a great job introducing the cat to the basenjis, I would continue to do what you're doing, but don't leave them alone just yet. I would keep them in different rooms while you are away. Also, as another person said, the cat and the bird will be more of a challenge, since the cat is more likely to hunt the bird. Keep the supervision going with all three species. My basenjis always wanted to chase cats they saw outside, but did not chase the cats we had, because they had been socialized and they thought of the cats as part of the pack. Estás haciendo un gran trabajo presentando al gato a los basenjis, yo continuaría haciendo lo que estás haciendo, pero no los dejes solos todavía. Los mantendré en diferentes cuartos mientras ustedes estén ausentes. Además, como dijo otra persona, el gato y el ave serán un desafío mayor, ya que es más probable que el gato cace al ave. Mantener la supervisión con las tres especies. Mis basenjis siempre quisieron perseguir a los gatos que vieron afuera, pero no persiguieron a los gatos que teníamos, porque habían sido socializados y pensaban que los gatos eran parte de la manada.

    So I've committed to getting a brindle basenji pup January 7th. She'll be about 18 weeks old by then so hopefully not too old to cultivate a healthy, non-homicidal relationship with my cat. The wait is killing me, feels worse than waiting for christmas day as a kid ha ha.

    =) 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.

    We actually did know some of what Bs are like. We went for it though and was allowed a two week test run with Joey. It took more than two weeks for him to adjust so we really didn't know how he was going to be. We actually didn't officially make him ours until after a month so we could have decided not to keep him. Despite the detruction of two pairs of shoes, blankets and towels in his crate, and a few other things, we still wouldn't trade him in! The other antics and peculiarities of this breed make up for the things lost!
