I grew up in a house with both dogs and cats, so I know that this is a story as old as time itself. You buy your dog a cool bed for them to relax and sleep on. Almost immediately, your cat (or cats) takes over the bed and the dog just looks on helplessly because it is terrified of the cat. And now the bed belongs to the cat.

END OF STORY.

You better believe it happens all the time. And here are some photos just so you know what I’m saying is true.

Let’s take a look…

1. What am I supposed to do?

His face says it all.

2. The look of defeat.

Totally devastated.

3. I guess I’ll lay down over here…

While the cat stares at me with evil eyes.

4. Mom…a little help?

I don’t think that belongs to you anymore.

And there’s no coming back.

Or at least he’s putting on a good show.

10. At least you left a bone in there.

To mark your territory.

11. There’s no way they could overpower that cat, right?

Sounds about right…

Those poor dogs don’t have a clue what to do. And they know if they try to get their beds back, there will be Hell to pay.

Oh well, I guess it belongs to the cat now.
