Just wanted to share the latest video of Wolfie playing with his little kitty sister, Nala. 
They play like this every day… and chase each other around the house… Nala waits for Wolfie to walk by and then she pounces on him… They are so funny!
I'm not sure how to embed the video since it's from my Facebook and not YouTube… so I'm including the link. ENJOY!!

too special!! one of our cats (murphy) really likes to interact with gayle and jane, while the other two seem to think it's wise to keep their distance...

I can not see it. 
I guess we have to be a facebook member to access it.
But by the way you describe it Jakesmom, the bound between Nala and Wolfie is priceless for sure. Give them both a big hug from me

Great video, I really enjoyed it. Fortis had two feline playmates, Wookie and Spook. I know he misses them. The way Wolfie and Nala play together reminds me of Fortis and Wooke. Fortis would just stand there, mouth wide open with this big smile and Wookie would just pound on him like Ali did Foreman "The rumble in the Jungle"........Rope-a-dope! Thanks for sharing.

Come on Mr. Admin did you ever think the day would come when I would help someone with a tech issue 
. If that doesn't put a smile on your face than nothing will.
Great video...I just watched for the third time. I love watching cats and dogs dueling it out. When their friends of course.

I think it usually works out great if one of them is a puppy or kitten... Introducing 2 adults (dog and cat) and expecting them to be best friends... well that's more like a miracle! 
My hubby hatched a duck egg one time (someone found an abandoned nest by their apartment complex and gave him the egg) and Wolfie was in love with the ducky too! But Jake constantly tried to eat it... You know, golden retrievers and all...
When the duck (named Oni) grew too big and started pooping way too much... we found him a nice home on a farm with a crazy duck and goose family. Oni used to swim in our pool with Wolfie too... Guess all our guests (including Barney) have to swim in our pool with Wolfie...
