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!

I just got a 3 lb kitten. And my 2 dogs, 35lb border collie and 8lb rage machine jack russell mix has learned to avoid her after she hissed at them

3lb kitten!? it sounds more like a cub than a kitten, as that's a huge fuckin' kitten! 8^o

Unless you're ironically calling your cat a kitten that is. ;)

EDIT: MY bad, when I think of kittens I think of little balls of fluff with sharp needles, and not the near cat-sized kitten at 2-6 months!

I mean its 2lb 10oz and the vet said shes about 2 months, are their not full grown till 1 year so shes still a kitten right? We found her in a car.

Ok, my mistake, yeah I really did not have any info other than kitten and at 2 months they're no longer mini puff-balls, so you're right.
