Tia Bullock (aka "Bitty"), 12 year-old domestic tabby feline with serious attitude issues.
Bam-Bam Dulin, 3.5 year-old black lab with almost constant look on his face that says, "Wanna play? Huh? Huh?!"GOAL:
Provide environment for co-habitation with the least amount of physical and mental injury to either participant. And to train Bam-Bam not to eat "Sandy Candy" from litterbox.
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS:
Jacqueline Bullock: Well-known cat lover and life-long care-taker for Tia. Recent convert to loving dogs, specifically the Labrador breed. Future Step-Pet owner of Bam-Bam.
Day 1: Bam-Bam adjusts quickly and happily to Raleigh and new townhouse. Bitty hides under beds, couches, in dark corners and can be seen sneaking to litterbox only if absolutely necessary.
Day 2: Bam-Bam re-introduces himself to Bitty. She re-introduces herself back with a violent hiss and smack with the claws. Bam-Bam understands Bitty is not interested in playing and rarely makes eye contact with her. Bitty understands she is powerful beast and does not take her eyes of him.
Day 3: To-date, Bam-Bam has not consumed any "Sandy Candy." Of course, Bitty is still not feeling entirely comfortable about leaving any either. Bitty has become increasingly courageous and now sports an attitude that demands Bam-Bam recognize she occupied this domicile first. Bam-Bam concedes to seniority status but seems mostly to care about playing with new Step-Pet owner and food.
Day 4: Bitty and Bam-Bam seen lying only 3 feet away from each other both sleeping. Director of Operations notes this as quite a successful implementation of Phase II of the Step-Pet Integration process.
