Here's a funny story about our malamute, Mistaya.  He's almost 
18 months old and full of life.  We also have a 4 year old cat 
who absolutely despises dogs of all kinds, particularly Mistaya.  
The reason becomes obvious as you read on....
 
The cat is fed inside our house, but no matter how much we feed 
him, he will always leave a little food in his bowl for later on.  
Whilst Mistaya is fed outside, he usually comes inside for a while 
after each meal to have a little play.  No matter how much we feed 
him, he'll always eat more!  And he often manages to find and eat 
the remaining cat food.  The first time we caught him he got taken 
by the scruff of the neck and unceremoniously marched straight out 
the back door.  We then ignored him for the rest of the evening.  
Ditto for the next two or three times, and then each time since.  
Nowadays, whenever he sees some left over cat food, he looks around 
to see if we're watching, paces around the food bowl for a while, 
walks away, comes back, and then eventually the temptation is too 
much and he just goes for it.  Straight after the cat food is 
consumed, he rushes to the back door, puts his tail between his 
legs and cries to be let out.  He knows he'll have to go out 
anyway, so he might as well admit his crime!!!
