I don't know.
My parents' cat, Cuddles, still doesn't like my parents' dog, Sadie, sniffing her butt.
Sadie also likes to try and eat Cuddles. I've jumped between them a few times.
When Cuddles was a kitten, she'd crawl up next to me and sleep on my bed. She liked to curl up on my chest, my back, or between my ankles.
I'm kind of like that bulldog in this one old cartoon that protects the kitten from danger. (If you don't know... it's an old cartoon.) Cuddles is almost 13 years old too.
