My sister had 3 cats and my dad had a dog. My dad and my sister lived together after my mother passed. Anyway, the cats were in charge. My dad's dog Teddy III, was a sheltie (alos known as Shetland Sheep dogs or miniature collies). He was bigger, but the cats ruled over him and would sometimes attack his tail, or give him a swat. We called Teddy, an Omega dog. Teddy passed a few weeks after my dad.

The Alpha cat, was a tiny two pound grey cat names Tabby. She was full grown but the size of a five month old regular cat. We joked that Tabby had "Jedi powers", as she would walk up to a door tha led outside, and within a minute, my sister wherever she was in the house would come along and open the door for her, and if my sister was at work, then one of her kids would come along to open the door for her. Sadly, Tabby passed and soon after Rachael and Jango passed as well.

Now, I live with my sister and we have 3 cats in the house again. Sasha, a Calico, Iris, who has fur like a Persian, but has the markings of a Tuxedo cat, and Whiskers who is a very thin silver tabby.
