Eric lived with his dog named Cairo. The new dog parent was busy with work most of the time. So, this bored dog would just stand up and literally touch him with his paws for attention. Cairo soon started to complain out loud.
It was clear that Cairo needed a playmate. That’s when Eric started to think of getting him a friend. Soon the kind owner brought a beautiful cat, Sultan. The owner separated the apartment in half so that each would have their own separate space. However, they could still see and smell each other.
Sultan was naturally curious and started exploring and playing with his toys right away. Cairo was intrigued but also confused about the new addition to the family. The dog would just look at the cat as if he was making up his mind about him.
Both the animals had their guards up when they were around one another. The owner knew that he had to be patient and gradually settle down between them. Towards the end of the first week, Eric realized that even though Sultan and Cairo were a little iffy about each other, they still wanted attention from their owner.
So, he decided to pet Cairo with one hand and Sultan with the other. Eventually, they would fall asleep near each other, which seemed to lower their defenses. Then, Cairo started gently poking at Sultan with his nose and gave little kisses with time.
That’s when Eric knew it was all going to work out. He was very excited to find Cairo finally accepting Sultan as their family member. The first time Eric saw them playing was around the third week. Sultan suddenly stood up and started swatting at Cairo’s face, and he began to playback.
A few days later, the owner found the duo in a full-on sparring session, and the rest was history. After that, Cairo and Sultan were officially best friends. With time, their bond just kept deepening and grew stronger. The cat and the dog constantly found new ways to play and show their love for each other.
