Apart from the bit about the bacon, my dog Tigggy-puss, ( thought he was one of the cats) once ate a pack of raw bacon (the cat stole it for him from the work top) and I discovered dogs and bacon don't get on. He had nitrate poisoning.
Same dog that when W1 and I were bottling home made apple wine, unbeknown to us was licking up the spills and had a hang over. Tiggy-puss had a favourite cat and the two of them used to lie in his basket together, they were inseparable. She cleaned his ears for him. They were a tag team, I caught them once he had his paws on the pedal bin flip to keep the lid of the bin up whilst she fished inside the bin from the work top. They both travelled In the back seat of the car, curled up together. Inseparable, best friends and companions. That cat hardly ever left his side, they sat on window sills together basking in the sun. She was the first thing he went to after he'd been out. She ate from his bowl, yes, dog food and I know that's not good for cats, apart from her cat biscuits she ate first from his bowl whilst he waited for her to finish.
So I really understand about Woofie, Tiggy-puss was a great love even if I shared him with puss. When puss died he grieved greatly for her. He had lost the great love of his life. The cat never related to other cats or humans but she nurtured and groomed Tiggy-puss.
