Name a more iconic duo
Dogs and cats are natural enemies, but there are times when they’ll set aside their differences. They might do it to annoy you or to find a way out of a playpen/kennel. Whatever it may be, when cats and dogs team up for a common goal, there’s nothing that can get in their way. And that includes his hooman.
The OP learned that his dog would beg the cat for food after it had learned to open the fridge. So, being the kindhearted soul that it is, the cat would drop food from the fridge onto the floor for its pupper pal. The OP’s reaction is spot-on. It’s only a matter of time before they realize they don’t need him and have him fixed.
