There are some things in my daily existence that always present themselves as a mystery. One of them is the relationship between our dog and the neighbor's cats.
It is no secret cats and dogs are not always the best of friends. I'm not certain whether that is a learned response or a natural one. Nevertheless, our dog loves to bark at our neighbor's cats. Prior to installing the Invisible Fence, he delighted in chasing them.
Once we installed the Invisible fence, it took the cats all of five minutes to figure out this dog could only go so far and that was it. Now, they just casually walk wherever they like in full view of our dog, while he barks like crazy. Of course, to no avail. He has not figured out, they don't care and have no fear! They will even be so bold as to come right up to the "fence line" and lay down and nap!
Normally our dog is very smart. But this one seems to elude him. Then again, I reckon he is no different then me. I can waste three or four hours watching sports or some other mundane show on TV and afterwards wonder why I wasted my time doing that. Then turn around the next day and do the very same thing.
Talk about barking to no avail!
