Max and Piper at peace (Patreon)

I took this photo of Max and Piper in my daughter's room yesterday. When they have these peaceful moments together, it's worth documenting because they are rare.

We've had Piper for three months now. She gets along really well with our dog, Dobby, but Max doesn't like her. They've had a rocky relationship ever since she arrived. When this happened, I thought they were becoming buddies. I was wrong.

As of right now, they're not buddies. Most of the time, Piper attacks Max relentlessly. Her go-to move is to run up behind him and bite his butt. You might be thinking, "She just wants to play with him," and I think sometimes this is true. But my wife and I both feel like she has kind of a "bully" energy with Max. She always chases him off his favorite chair, which is now her favorite chair. 

Piper struts around like she's the new sheriff in town. It's funny how a tiny cat can rule the roost.
