We attended a wonderful Christmas party at our friends Bob and Becca's house. They have a beautiful home with a lot of room for their cat Rex to "Rule The Roost". Rex is a beautiful black Maine Coon mix with a fantastic disposition.
Rex was a little concerned with the idea of sharing his space with Cooper. They spent much of the beginning of the evening just studying each other. Cooper likes cats, but mostly for chasing. I don't allow him to chase cats when I'm near by, so he was on best behavior. Rex doesn't know much about dogs, so he probably didn't know what to expect and seemed ready for an upset of any kind.
Cooper had to spend quite a bit of time earning Rex's trust. He laid still, allowing Rex to assess the situation in the way cats do.
They spent plenty of time near each other because Rex seemed to be interested in coming back to look at Cooper and inch his way closer and closer while I told Cooper to stay. He did as he was told like the good boy he always is. He was a bit bored in that he was confined to out of the way places where the cat could feel safe.

I love the picture of him behind the tree!!! Incredible shot - little present!
