Besides Bailie, cat bro Bert is the other big mischief maker in our house. Katie is the sweetest and kindest of all us furs. Katie has been the victim of tons of rough play, biting, tugging, etc. Katie never fights back or complains. Probably Katie’s biggest problem is cat bro Bert as he loves her big fluffy tail. Bert has been trying to play with Katie’s tail forever, and poor Katie doesn’t know what to do. He can get real rough, biting and chewing in the fur, making her the victim of his mischief!
The more Bert plays, the more Katie moves her tail making the problem even worse.
He loves all that long white fur that moves.
Bert gets all wound up and buried in the fur.
He looks so happy and pleased with himself.
Sometimes while rolling around in the tail fur he finds one of Katie’s back paws and decides to chomp on it.
He could keep playing in Katie’s tail for hours, but eventually, the victim of the mischief has had enough. Bailie and I would just bite Bert, but not Katie. She simply gets up and walks away, hoping he doesn’t follow her. It is hard to believe she is really a fierce guard dog as she is so very gentle and polite with her family members!
I am joining the Monday Mischief blog hop brought to you by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, My Brown Newfies.
well done Katie, I hope you get lots of rewards (treats) for being so good and patient!
She does. She is just such a nice girl.
Aw, such cute photos!
It is kind of mischievous…but also kind of cute!! Happy Mischief Monday! xo Chloe and LadyBug
Katie you are such a sweetie. Nestle the cat can get rough with Storm at times. They kind of wrestle, which is odd because Nestle is so much smaller.
Bailie and I wrestle with Bert all the time, but not Katie, she is way to gentle.
maybe she needs a tail protector 🙂
She needs to show Bert some teeth.
Katie is such a sweet soul!
She is, and the older she gets the nicer she gets.
Bert looks like he is having a blast. Katie is more patient than most dogs would be with that.
She is far too patient.
BOL Emma….Bert had a Katie-tail wig on in that one photo! Bert is so cute playing in Katie’s tail and yes, she is so sweet to let him do so. What mischief!
Oz
He is nasty, and takes advantage of her.
BOL!!! That is hysterical!! Great photos!!!
It is funny to watch, but we feel sorry for Katie!
Ha! My kitties like to do that too! The huskies sort of look at them like, “are you really doing this?” BOL!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Naughty kitties.
With age comes wisdom and kindness I guess. Poor sweet Katie.
I know, she is way too nice.
Poor Katie. We understand the temptation to chase a tail, but it is supposed to be your own! It is no fair to chase someone else’s tail. LOL!
Very good point!
This is adorable!
🙂
You can almost hear Katie saying “he ain’t heavy, he’s my cat bro Bert!” Good work Katie! So sweet. Wonder if Bert knows how spoiled he is!!! Other dogs I know would not be so patient.
Bailie and I are not patient.
That is hilarious. Katie actually looks like a good pillow too
Lily & Edward
She is a great pillow.
Bert is so thoroughly pleased with himself! Good for him he has such a tolerant sister.
He is always pleased with himself.
That looks like one fun Katie tail!
You kitties would love it!
Oh, Katie. What a good sport 😉 That’s one of my favorite thing about these guardian breeds. Mauja and Atka are great guard dogs, but so incredibly tolerant, especially of smaller creatures.
That is so very true!
Good girl, Katie! Bert looks really happy with himself, lol
He is happy when he is being a pest!
Awe that’s so adorable!
For us, but poor Katie!
What fun your pets are having together! – Petnet(io)
Bert is, Katie it is questionable.
OMD NOW we have SEEN IT ALL….. We can’t believe it…. YOU have a CAT TAIL.
LOL! Good way to put it!
We just love to see big dogs being patient of kitties and smaller animals!! Good girl Katie!! Our angel kitty Addie used to boss Bilbo and I around!
Smileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
She is such a gentle big girl. Bailie and I are nowhere near so nice.
Katie is such a gentle soul with her family; bless her sweet heart for being so patient 🙂
I know, she is so sweet.
Aw Bert is so cute! I can’t blame him, that tail looks pretty fun to play with. Glad Katie is a good big sis 🙂
If he wouldn’t bite into her tail, it would be much nicer for katie.
My kitty loves Barley’s tail, too! Barley’s so oblivious about what goes on with her tail that she doesn’t even notice–it’s like her tail has a mind of its own! Bert looks adorable in those pictures–Katie’s such a good girl!
Katie wouldn’t mind so much if Bert didn’t chomp down on it all the time.
I LOVE Bert! And Katie. Katie reminds me of my parents’ golden retriever Elsie. Elsie is 11, and she puts up with their cat who comes and cuddles up next to her. The cat won’t bother any other dogs, just Elsie, because Elsie puts up with it.
Those are some really cute pictures of naughty Bert.
Bailie and I won’t put up with him, we go after him if he bothers us.
Bert really does look like he’s having some fun. Poor Katie, she is such a good big sister to let Bert play with her tail!
She is at a loss for what to do, so eventually, she gets up and walks away.
Those pics are so cute! And her tail does kinda look like one of those feather cat toys. Can’t really blame cat bro for being tempted!
It’s very tempting for a cat, but he shouldn’t bite her.
Katie is a patient, kind, loving fluff of white. She has an incredible soul. The mom says she might not be so nice to me. XOXO Sparkle the PBGV
Oh yes, she is nice to everyone unless they pose a danger. She is real sweet.
Her tail is like a giant flirt pole!
Yep, that is a good way to put it!
I are real nice to da kitties too, I even put up wif em slappin me and tryin to steal my foodz.
Bailie and I won’t deal with that and we let them know the dogs rule around here, but not Katie.
I love how Katie allows Bert to have his way in her tail. That is the sweetest thing ever.
It is sweet, but we feel sorry for Katie because he does bite into her tail.
Mischievous Bert is very lucky that Katie is so tolerant of having her tail used as a toy. Katie needs to learn to tuck her feathery tail beneath her.
Sometimes a girl just likes to let her tail hang out, you know!
Bert knows who really likes her…I wouldn’t be as tolerant either, Emma.
He knows he can abuse her, but not Bailie and I!
I don’t have a big furry tail like Ms Katie, but I have the same problem with our new kitty. He is a tail monster!!
It is just mean on the cats part, isn’t it?
BOL! I love that photo where Bert has his mouth wide open and tongue out! 😀 Katie must be such a sweet girl to tolerate all the rough-housing 🙂
She puts up with it because she doesn’t know what to do, but after he starts biting her a few to many times she just gets up and leaves.
Those pictures are awesome! Bert is lucky that Katie lets him play with her tail! Katie is too nice. I don’t think we would be so nice if a cat tried to play with our tails!
Katie is way too nice!
How patient Katie is with Bert. My cats usually know not to bother with any of the dogs’ tails, but sometimes it’s just too tempting. And all the dogs react more like Katie. They just get up and walk away.
Wags and purrs from Life with Dogs and Cats.
First Katie hopes he just goes away, but then realizes she has to get up and leave.
Katie sure is patient! Bert….not so much!
Katie is extremely patient.
Ha! Bert is a lot like my brother, Thor. Thor’s so mischievous though, I bet Bert is a good kitty! 🙂 I bet Thor and Allie would love to play around with Katie’s tail too- there’s nothing better than the feather/jingle wand! 😉
Bert is a totally rotten cat, always in trouble and big trouble too, but he has a sweet side that saves his furry butt from being kicked out of the house!
Katie is a saint! But its pretty funny watching Bert play with that tail. Love Dolly Pees: Don’t get any ideas Rhette.
I doubt Rhette would be interested in a Doxie tail. You need something big and fluffy like a feather for it to appeal to a cat.
Bert your little toes are so darn cute.
But he has big strong teeth and that is what hurts poor Katie.
Katie is kind. One of my cats likes to play with my tail, but he is gentle so I wave it for him.
Bert starts off gentle, but then starts pulling the fur and biting into her tail.
