Welsh Terrier - Herbie’s Blog

We have wild cats - about 9 of them and 1 semi tame cat Doodle. Doodle and Herbie get along pretty good. If they’re together, Doodle lays down and lets Herbie maul him. He makes short slow moves and there are usually no problems.
Well, this morning one of the kittens came back inside the fence after Herbie was let out for his morning wee. I was fixing breakfast but heard herbie barking - i thought it was his ‘barking at a frog’ bark and didn’t even look out right away. When I did i saw he had one of the kittens down with his paw. The kitten was snarling and swinging on him - at this point Herbie was not biting or trying to kill the little thing. (probably 3 months old). When I went outside - saying NO NO NO herbie…. he put his nose down closer to the kitten. The cat tried to escape again and herbie caught him again. I grabbed herbie’s collar and pulled him back and made him drop it. The poor little thing ran into the fence a few times and I guess found his way out. I dragged herbie in the house and made him go in his ‘box’ for a little while. Kitten didn’t show up for breakfast - haven’t seen him since. I don’t think Herbie ever bit down hard or wanted to kill it. think being the operative word. If I see killer kitten later - I’ll try to take a pic if I can get close enough.
