Yes, I staged my dragons with my cat throughout the years to intentionally misguide others. You saw through my ruse :roll: You have to be kidding me.
I fully understand the concern, and I appreciate it, but stop pretending you know my animals better than I do. I am not under the false impression they are "friends" but they are not a threat to each other or I would
never allow them together like this.
All photos posted were free roaming both cats and dragons and I took photos because I thought it was cute/sweet. I have plenty more on my phone, including video, and they interact daily with zero negative results. Yes, I have some staged photos on my phone as well where I put a dragon on my cat's head or on her back while she laid on me. Here's one!
My earlier photos were candid and not staged, and the fact I even have to defend that is insulting. That's an entirely low assumption, as though my life is so sad I need to make up a story about how my cat gets along well with my dragon(s) over the course of years.
Years.
Photo 1 - Simon and Yoshi (cat) enjoying a summer night together on the bay window ledge. They both enjoy the window and shared w/o cause for concern. Hanging out? no. Just both enjoying the night.
Photo 2 - Baby Richter and Yoshi on my chest. Was holding Richter and Yoshi joined and gently sniffed his little face. Took a photo.
Photo 3 - Home, cleaning Richter's cage so he was free ranging the couch. He went up to look out the bay window and crawled up over the sleepy cat for a better view. Thought it was cute. Took a photo.
I am not at all trying to suggest everyone here will have the same experience, but I'm proving that they will, quote, "NEVER BE FRIENDS" and that the OP was "lucky" is unnecessary fear you are pushing on others. No where have I claimed they will be friends. My responses have always been those of caution ("My cat gets along with them fine", "depends on the cat" etc.) To tell everyone that their cat will kill immediately and will always end poorly is misguided and biased. I am trying to show the other end of things.
I do remove my dragons when they crawl onto the cat because I know from experience she will likely get up and bolt away and don't want them to fall or go flying. If my cat does not like how she is being touched, she leaves.
Again. Stop pretending you know my animals.
Thank you
