My dog can beat up your...

I took Griff for a walk last night. About 7 blocks worth. Boy is it a lot of work for him these days. Somewhere around the 4th block we passed a cat. I heard the tinkling of his little bell as he suddenly emerged onto the sidewalk in a quick trot behind us. "Surely this cat is not following my dog?" I thought. Yes, he was. And as it turns out, he became more foolish the further we walked. Getting closer and even more frisky than a cat should rightly be. I was smiling, giggling and thinking what you're thinking "What is wrong with this cat?" I decided to just turn Griff around to realign the cat's sensibility. Up to this point he hadn't given the cat a second thought. Griff turned as led but still really didn't bother to show the least bit of interest. On the other hand the cat hissed, arched it's a back and put on quite a show. Quite a show for a "stalking cat". I was suddenly taken back to 4th grade and that annoying kid who would kick me all the time just to get my attention. When I finally kicked back, he cried. I really had no need for that boy.
Back to the cat... I was full-out laughing by the time he hid behind a rose bush when I looked back to see if he was really still there. I assume he was trying to be more covert? He doesn't know how the bell around his neck works, or so it would seem. About a block from home he disappeared. I can only assume someone walked by with a Mastiff.
