It was Sunday afternoon, the daughters were playing outside, the wife was sleeping (having worked the night before and scheduled to work that night), and I was relaxing on the living room couch with my Sunday newspaper. The puppy was stretched out next to me, sleeping fitfully, with the occasional grunt or whine to amuse me. I don't know where the kitten had been, or what he'd been doing, but eventually, we found his way into the living room and started playing with one of the puppy's chew toys. This got the puppy's attention, and she stood up on the couch to watch the kitten. The kitten, seeing the puppy looming above him, decides that the best defense is to take the offensive. He takes a flying leap and manages to get his front legs wrapped around the puppy's neck. This completely off-balances the puppy and they both tumble off the couch to the living room floor, the cat landing flat on his back, and the puppy landing face first on top of him. They roll across the floor, chewing on each other with grunts and growls. Suddenly, the puppy breaks free, jumps back up on the couch, where she skids to a stop to see what the kitten will do. The kitten has its back turned to the puppy, which is apparently just too tempting. The puppy takes a flying leap from the couch and lands squarely on the back of the kitten. This begins a long wrestling match that rolls back and forth across the room. To all appearances, you'd think they were trying to kill each other, except that after a few minutes, they break apart, and climb onto the couch, where they curl up together and go to sleep.
