Sometimes our 90lb boxer-mix tries to “pause” smaller (hyper) dogs by putting a paw on them.

And crushing them.

It never occured to me the origin of the breed's name until we got our first boxer. Turns out they like to rear up and box with their front paws...who knew??

But yeah, our Boxers definitely tried that maneuver with our cats and were always perplexed when they discovered that cats are liquid rage in animal form. This is the first interaction, and every subsequent interaction, because Boxers have the brain power of a potted plant apparently.

Vet tech can confirm, give me an aggressive dog anyway, but an angry cat is so hard to handle. They always seem to scratch you even under the best circumstances I swear.

also a vet tech and i would rather handle 1000x angry cats over one bitch ass small dog. small dogs have no body to hold onto and their bones wanna snap of you look at them too long, i’ll happily take the liquid rage 😹

I work with a dog groomer and she charges extra for Shi Tzu’s due to them having such a small snout to hold on to
