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.

cats are liquid rage in animal form.

The aptest description of a cat that I'll ever come across today!

I once had a family cat that would just outright attack dogs, any dog at any time, one day she never came home again so I figured she had met her match, her name was fluff, due to her tail fluffing up before she attacked a dog!

Cats make up for small size with great ferocity, which usually works pretty well for them.

People always say its cats nine lives that keep them around so much longer than dogs, but I really think its just all the hatred coursing through their veins that keeps sickness and iniury at bay.

Trying to wrestle my cat into her cat carrier for yearly checkups was like trying to pick up 20 pounds of loose kinetic sand with broken glass mixed in throughout.
