Ozzy

The Lajeniss family based in Southern California fell in love with Ozzy a Pitbull, at the very first sight. They liked him so much that they brought him into their house that already had a cat named Norm. The other member of the family included three kids and two adults. The family was apparently very happy with having Ozzy as a member. Though the Lajeniss loved the dog, they still were not sure how Ozzy was going to react to the new environment. And as we all know Pitbull bears a very wrong image when it comes to getting along with new people. And in this case, there was also a cat in the scene.

Will He Get Along?

In contrast to all the presumptions, Ozzy was a complete sweetheart! He won everyone’s heart right from the moment he stepped into the house. Soon, he became the adorable obedient son of Lajeniss’ and the best buddy of Lajeniss’ youngest son. The dog was full of love and would shower his love on anyone coming across him. But it is not always that you get that love back. That is what happened to Ozzy who was going to have a big surprise in near future. 

The Sweet Natured Dog

The family was all in love with the dog and why would they not. He was such a sweetheart. Jennifer Lajeniss explains the sweet nature of the dog by giving an example. She says if any day someone would try to break into their house “Ozzy would offer to hold their flashlight, ask them about their day and show them right to the TV set.” It was his affectionate behavior that endeared him to the people. Whereas everyone else was in love with Ozzy, the dog was captivated by toddlers. He loved children and wanted them to be around him all the time. Along with toddlers, he had a deep affection for something very strange!  

Special Feeling For Someone

Ozzy was highly affectionate to the small kids. He adored kids so much that he would run up to every toddler he sees and would want to kiss them. He would stick his head out and say “hi” whenever notices a kid passing by. That is the reason why he had such a strong bond with Lajeniss’ youngest son who was very small in age. Though the dog had made an impressive impression on every member of the family with his affection, there was someone who was yet to accept him completely. And it was going to be nothing less than a big challenge for Ozzy to win his approval!

Meeting Him

You would have never met a dog so friendly as Ozzy. Not just humans, he loved the company of other animals too. For him, every animal he met had the potential of being his best friend. So, when he saw Norm, the old cat he got very excited and began displaying his affection towards him. The dog did everything he could to make that cat his friend. He would follow him everywhere and would always show his love to him. The cat, on the other hand, had his own reservations about the dog.

Not Everyone Was Happy

Not everyone liked the dog, there was a member of the family who dissed him. And the member who was yet to approve of the dog was Norm, the family cat. Strangely, the dog was affectionate to the cat since the time he met him but the cat did never reciprocate to Ozzy’s fondness. No matter how hard Ozzy would try to win the old cat’s friendship, Norm would remain unfazed. ‘the grumpy old man just tells him to fluff off,’ said Jennifer Lajeniss, the human mother of the dog. You would be amazed to know the extent the dog went to win friendship with the cat.

Mission Impossible!

Ozzy being caring by nature would take care of every tiny need of the old and moody cat. He would run after him and would also stay by his side only to get approval from the Norm. The cat would rub his head on the dog. He coldly ignored every effort made by the pooch. Regardless of the disheartening behavior of the cat the dog continued to persuade him. He just needed someone to take care of. Have you seen such level of affection? What do you think, would the haughty cat relent and accept the Pitbull’s friendship? Well, for that you will have to click through few more slides.   

Hobbies Include…

Other than seeking friendship with toddlers and other animals the dog had one more hobby. He liked licking the feet of Lajeniss’ 5-year-old son. As mentioned earlier, he had a strong bond with Jennifer’s youngest son. He would take care of that little boy as his own puppy. He loved to play with the kid and their acquaintances soon graduated into a special bond. It seemed the boy had two fathers, first the human one and second, our Ozzy. Norm, on the other hand, continued to ignore Ozzy. Though he had a close friend in the face of the 5-year-old son of Lajeniss, he still wanted to have his own cat.

Something Is Missing

Apparently, the dog had everything family, comfort, and lots of love. But, he was missing something. Still, there was a lacking in his world. A big void! He desperately needed a friend. And that old grumpy cat had the potential of being his friend but apparently, he refused to be one. Jennifer, the human mother of Ozzy was noticing all these things but she was helpless. The luck of Ozzy took an unexpected turn when Jennifer spotted something on the street! A usually ignored thing was going to make a big change in the life of Ozzy.  

The Pregnant Cat

Jennifer saw a pregnant stray cat on the street. The cat was in final stage of her pregnancy and that worried Jennifer. The reckless condition of the pregnant cat bothered her and she decided to keep the cat in her home until her delivery. The cat was named Winnie! Ozzy became very happy when he saw Winnie. He perhaps had got a friend at last. But unfortunately, due to her vulnerable condition, Winnie could not reciprocate to Ozzy’s affection. On the other side, Norm remained stone-hearted. It was to see whether Norm was going to befriend Ozzy or not. Meanwhile, Ozzy was about to have another surprise. 

Look Who Comes

Eventually came the day when Winnie was going to deliver her babies. She gave birth to 5 kittens. When Ozzy learned about the arrival of kittens he was on cloud nine. In fact, no one was as happy as the Pitbull. He began to tend to them and would show his love by licking them. And if we talk about haughty Norm, he as always did not show any interest in those kittens. And as far as the mother cat was concerned she also had some thoughts. It was just the beginning of the surprises that Ozzy was going to have. You would not have read an emotional story like this. Click next to find out how Ozzy proved all the antiquated perception of the dog and cat relationship wrong. 

Becoming The Father

Ozzy would treat the kitten as his own children. He used to shower the kittens with all his love. You would always see him running behind the kittens and catering to their every small requirement. He used to cuddle and lick them when they injure themselves. No need to say, Ozzy, slashed the burden of Winnie by more than half. It was a great help for Winnie! But Norm still was as cold as before. No one had any idea why was he being so critical of the dog.         

The Mother Cat

Whereas Norm remained rude to the dog Winnie acknowledged and appreciated Ozzy’s help. In order to show her gratitude, she rubs up against him. She never stops her kittens from going out with him. The family said ‘She’ll rub up on Ozzy almost to thank him for kitten sitting while she’s out getting a break.’ You would have never seen such bond of trust!

Love From Kittens

Even the kittens were used to of his presence. They would rush to him after getting out of their blanket for some baths. They also liked being cuddled by him. No doubt, he was the best uncle they could ever get. This unique bond was equally blissful for the dog. Jennifer Lajeniss stated ‘ever since we’ve allowed Oz to interact with the kittens, he’s been so happy.’ The cat, on the other hand, was very happy with this

Saying Goodbye

Ozzy apparently was very happy with the presence of kitten around him. But this was also a truth that the kittens were growing and it was not easy for the family to cater to the needs of all of them. So, the family decided to give away the kittens to a shelter. It was a difficult decision for the family to make and it was to see how Ozzy was going to react to that. And also there was one more question would Norm come forward now and support Ozzy or would remain stoic as always?

Troublemaker

It was now impossible for Ozzy to do without kittens. Considering that, the family decided to keep one of the kittens to them. The kitten was nicknamed Troublemaker. By the name, it seems the kitten must be very mischievous. Moreover, Winnie was also going to stay with the family. However, she would be spayed.

Put On Halt

Seeing Ozzy’s love for the kittens, the adoption plan was put on halt for some time. It meant that Ozzy had more time to spend with all of the kittens. The affection of the pooch for the kitten was boundless. It was decided that when the kittens would grow old they would all be taken to the forever homes. Till then they were free to flourish in the arms of the Ozzy.

“Never Give Up On Love”

Jennifer Lajeniss said ‘Ozzy never gives up on love.’ It was his unconditional love for the kittens that changed people’s general perception of dog and cats’ relationship. This dog was full of love for the cats. He always wanted his own cat and now he had not one but many cats. Though the dog had proved his love for the cats, he was yet to win the confidence of Norm who was watching all these happenings from a distance.

Dogs And Cats

This story flies in the face of the generally accepted theory that dogs and cats hate each other. By now you must have understood that the cats and dogs can become best friends. Ozzy, after finding these little furry balls found himself in heaven. It may interest you to know that Ozzy was not the only dog that showed his love for cats. There are many and one of them is Bubba, the Pitbull.

Bubba

Rebecca Pizzello brought a 3 months old Pitbull home. The adoption was made six years ago from a shelter of Arizona in Phoenix. The dog was named Bubba. At that time the mother of the dog did not know about the strange obsession of Bubba. But it was soon going to be revealed. Call it a perfect coincidence, at the same time the roommate of Rebecca rescued a litter of kittens. The dog and the kittens were going to stay together under the same roof!

Roommates

Unexpectedly, Bubba and his new roommates gelled up very easily. He was very nice with his tiny roommates. And his roommates too enjoyed his affection. They spent their childhood playing together and in no time the day came when they grew up. Now was the time for the kittens to say goodbye to Bubba as they had become old enough for adoption. 

Mr. Lonely

After the departure of kittens from his life, Bubba felt very lonely. He was missing them immensely. It was then he developed a liking for cats. Now, all he wanted was a cat that he could call a friend. Rebecca says ‘Bubba has had an endless affection for cats, like, literally obsessed.’ 

After Six Years

This way, six years went by but his desire to have a cat of his own did not faint at all. Rebecca very well knew about his fellow Pit’s wish. They relocated to New York city where a big surprise was waiting for Bubba. Rebecca said ‘I always knew he’d love having one of his own.’ Rebecca had finally adopted a cat for the dog.      

Formalities

In order to adopt the cat, Rebecca had to send an application to a shelter. The shelter responded to Rebecca quickly. The answer was just perfect! She had never felt so sure about anything. She explains ‘Rue stood out like no other and I took her home as fast as I could.’ What do you think how Bubba was going to react? 

On Seeing Her

There was no end to Bubba’s ecstasy when he saw the cat at his home’s door. On seeing the cat, he rushed to her immediately. It was an unprecedented moment for the Rebecca. The cat initially felt a bit odd initially but soon she got mixed up with Bubba. They were going to build a unique bond.

Identical Color

What more amazing was the fact that the two had the same color. In fact, it was the color of the cat that caught Rebecca’s attention. Rebecca explained ‘The fact that Bubba and Rue have identical coloring still blows my mind.’ Rebecca expressed her bewilderment by saying  “The fact that Bubba and Rue have identical coloring still blows my mind…I knew Bubba would be filled with joy the second we walked in the door and  boy was I right.”

Rue And Bubba

Surprisingly, Bubba took over all the responsibility of Rue from the very first day the cat entered the home. He began to treat her as his own daughter. He was always up on his toe whenever the cat needed him. Naturally, the cat began to consider him her mom. He took care of Rue’s cleanliness, health, and food just like any mother does.

Inseparable

The mother dog and daughter cat are inseparable. Every day from morning to night they stayed together. It is only once they decide to go separate ways during sunbathing but there also they end up snuggling together on the couch when the sun sets. Not just at home even if they are out traveling it is difficult to pull them away from each other. To put it more clearly, you would always see them close to each other.

Bubba As Mom

The mother of both said ‘Rue thinks Bubba is her mom and Bubba loves it. He bathes her like a baby and snuggles close to her to make her comfortable.’ If one of them is sleeping the other would stay close by or snuggle with the sleeping one. It is difficult to believe that a cat finds comfort in the arms of a dog. But that is the fact here!

Another Heartmelting Story

This story also transcends all the demarcations made by nature! Hassel a labrador retriever never liked cats. Just like any other dog, he also thought that cats are for chasing. He continued to think so until Hannes, a kitten entered his house and life. Hassel was only a year old when Hannes was born and taken by Hassel’s family to their house. 

First Meeting

They struck the rapport on the very first day itself. It was an all-new experience for Hassel. Bert says “Hessel wasn’t fond of cats; like a characteristic dog, he thought cats were for chasing.” On the other side, Hannes had already been in the company of dogs in past. Bert continues “The family where Hannes was born also had a dog. So Hannes was already used to dogs when he came to live with us.”

Opposite Nature

Whereas Hassel was a calm dog, Hannes was equally mischievous. It would follow the dog everywhere he goes. Hannes would also eat from the food bowl of the dog and would sleep on his couch. And Hassel, on the other hand, would enjoy the encroachment of his space by the cat.

Size No Bar

Even the giant size of the dog was never a problem in their friendship. Bert says “As a real labrador he can be boorish, so he didn’t understand his body is too heavy for lying on top of the cat. But Hessel always approaches Hannes with calmth.” Being a mischevious cat, Hannes would attack Hessel when he is sleeping or be walking by.

Lost In Each Other

Bert also talks about the minor trouble they have because of the unique bond the cat and dog share. He says “But they also love to sleep together,” he adds “In the beginning, we sometimes couldn’t find the cat. We looked everywhere and would find a little cat tail under the dog.”

Seven Years Of Trust

Their friendship has become seven years old now. The time has passed by and the bond between the dog and cat has only grown deeper. Now Hannes in seven years old and Hassel is eight years old. Though Hannes does not attack Hassel like before as they have grown old, she still enjoys his company. Now, they usually spend most of their time by sleeping with each other. However, still, it is the cat who dominates the dog. The owner says “Lying with the dog is, of course, a very warm place for a cat, he doesn’t mind the dog being all over him.”
