Hey Zen-
That little guy is really cute! But Python is right, he does look like a Jack Russell, and it is pretty likely that he doesn't like cats. My parent's have had 2 Jacks (though I consider them mine!) and neither of them have been very fond of cats, but only the first one would actually chase them, and that was even after he got beaten up by 2 cats!

Jack's are great dogs, and I am hoping to get one of my own in the next year or so, but they have a lot of umm....personality The two we have had couldn't have been more different. The first, Jocko, was just crazy....never setteled down, attacked the TV regularly (granted we encuraged him 'cause it was funny), chased everything and anything, bounced all over the place when people came over and never setteled down. But man he was a sweetie! He was just starting to settle down a little bit when he was killed at the age of 7 (he ran one rainy morning and got hit by a car ). Our second, Roscoe, is totally different. He is quite calm and just loves to cuddle, he doesn't run, comes when you call him, loves when people come over and after his excited greeting he settles down. But no matter what their personality, they are hunting dogs, so they frequently do resort to what is genetically programmed in them. Even Roscoe who has never been very aggressive (except with other dogs are on his turf, funny when the other dog is a huge dog, and little Roscoe is just grawling and barking, but he has never attacked), got and killed his first rabbit earlier this summer. Though according to my Mom he was pretty confused about what happened, and why the rabbit didn't want to play anymore

<<Sigh>> I want a dog..... soon I hope!
