Nancy and Steve's dog, Pepper, *loves* kitty cats... seeing kitty cats, sniffing kitty cats... She always wants to come and sniff at our door, and, if the door is open, to come in and *see* the kitty inside. She *knows* that there is a kitty inside.
Miss Kitty is not quite so fond of Pepper...
Usually Pepper just finds where Miss Kitty is and puts her nose up to Miss Kitty's nose for a couple of seconds, and that's good enough. On this day, however, I had sat on the couch with Miss Kitty on one side of me, and Pepper jumped up on the other side...

I don't know if you can tell by Pepper's expression, but I think that Miss Kitty must have communicated in some way (no hissing or growling or meowing (or barking) involved) that Pepper was not a welcome addition to the couch! |
There were no overt issues or words spoken, and Pepper has come back other times and they have touched noses with no problem!
