" don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact "

Key takeaway. Don't look the cat in the eye.

ok - this outreach is worth more than 13 - i say 15

and the sound of that paw smack 😭

Fenrir, great technique… just requires less eye contact and you could try a little treat applied to you head.

I mean, the cat was touching him at two points, and he only got a single *bap*. Just a matter of time until they're doing a cuddle-puddle.

😂😂😂 smart pooch! Ill murder mittens!

I've known men like this in life 🤣🤣🤣 Many have gotten the exact same response!!! 😂😂

The dog’s look near touchdown 👀 🤣

It was the eye contact asking permission that set her off. 😂 She would have allowed him to unknowingly cuddle.

❤️

Poor Fenrir. She’s a very haughty and naughty cat!

he is so cute. what a hooman thing to do. 🤣

He gets an A for effort!

🤭🤣😂

Not sure how to caption this one...

Similar vibes.

Never ever look, Fenrir! No lookee in eyeses! Otherwise, excellent work there!

Fenrir: Just be patient...she has DNA memories of wolves and such.🐺

That is sooooo funny 🤣🤣

Poor, sweet puppy. He wants so badly to be friends with the cat. 😞

Himb tried ♥

Give it time, if they're already that close it won't be long before they're inseparable

So you're saying there's a chance

This perfectly captures my vibe at the moment! (I'm the dog.)

Yikes.

...WAP!!!

SLOMO for the FOMO on that MOFO.

He’s being restrained by the cat’s footsteps. Anyone? Anyone?

That's tragic!

Fenrir? What a (somewhat pompous) name for that li‘l critter…😅😂🤣

In my house, it was the cat who had the unrequited love. Fenrir, you have to wait until the beloved is in a deep sleep; then they’re all yours

Hahaha. So cute.

That cautious approach is precious!

So close

Sweet thing. Keep tryin’ bro.

I love that basically every animal knows not to piss off a cat and to always keep em in your peripherals 🤣

@fidgit.bsky.social you are not the only one, Maris

I can't help but admire his technique.

I have a dachshund who desperately wants to cuddle with TimTom but TimTom is not a fan.

This has the same energy of a guy yawning while trying to put his arm around the girl next to him.

OMG that is ADORABLE 🥰

Whack!

Poor little fella. 😏😏😏

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Better luck next time!

It was at this moment....

This is similar to the classic "yawn and stretch your arms over your head" movie theater move, only far less successful.

Ever the peacemaker, that Fenrir!

Oh, Fenrir. I'm so sorry.

That was not a boop!

Poor thing 😂

The sweetest Corgi. 15/10

Bring a gift next time, she accept it and you. Choose wisely.

when you named your CORGI Fenrir...

That look he gave the cat!!👀🤣

🤣

Keep trying, Fenrir!

Treat the kitty like you’d treat JLo. No eye contact Fenrir!

Hope springs eternal in the heart of Fenrir, and he'll keep on trying 'cause he's a sweetie who'll share the sofa with a crabby cat. 💛🐶

aww

awwww what a little lovebug. me too, fenrir

Oh no! IT was the side eye peek Fenrir. Do not be tempted to peek next time.

One day...

But does he really want to cuddle, though? Or does he just want the couch all to himself?

Poor pupper. And he's being SO polite! We have the opposite problem. Cats loved our late Watson. Dancer is indifferent to cats, and Flash WANTS to play but she's a young husky mix & is too lively for our cats, who are older. The best we can get so far is naptime proximity.

Well I give Fenrir A+ for effort… In time they’ll be the best of buddies. 👍🏻💙🐕🐈‍⬛

It's ok, Fenrir. One day, the cat will cuddle you.

Me and my husband when the weather is hot 😂

Okay-- somebody TELL Fenrir you do NOT make eye contact. WHATEVER you do, you do NOT make eye contact. That was one heck of a try though.😝🤣🫶

is he by chance the 16th student hidden somewhere in the school

They will get there, like mine.

Making eye contact--big mistake.

🤭🥰

😂🤣😂

I have an opposite case at home One of my cats, Spock, is particularly cuddly and wants to do it with everyone, while one of my dogs, Charlie, doesn't like it and keeps growling every time Spock snuggles against him. Spock is completely unfazed and keeps going, so Charles just endures it.

😂🥰😘😘

So close. Sooooo close. 🐾❤️

I think he's winding the cat up. That bit where he rolls his eyes. Go doggo!

Poor buddy.

We don't know their history!

Oh Fenrir. She just hasn’t noticed your greatness yet. Maybe go slower?

Nice try, Renrir! 💕

"What is it with you? You make it weird EVERY time! Why is eye contact so important, anyway? I can't even look at you right now."

He shouldn't have made eye contact

That look on his face and the fact that he didn’t run tells me he’s been here before. Patience Fenir you’re getting there.

The way the pup has his lips stretched while giving the side-eye, he knows what's about to go down, lol. Tensing up for the inevitable strike!

Fenrir! Don’t even glance her way-no side eye, no peeking. Just settle yourself down as if she asked you over for a cuddle.

Oh, bless his heart.

If it were an Orange one, maybe. Too bad it's a black cat.

*little bit of time

Oh Fenrir! I'm so sorry. You're still a good boy. 🐾💙🐾💙🐾💙

Corgis never give up!

The cat's not even that mad, if Fenrir keeps trying, I bet it works eventually.

At least he keeps trying.

😆😆

Dogs seek to be close to all animals, human and others, in the house, considering them part of their pack. Cats are sometimes initially hostile, but dogs are patient and eventually cats will usually become at least tolerant of dog attention and often will grow close to the dog.

Ahh, so close!

The cat be like “oh hell no!”

How sweet!!

You're just like that @$$hole on the #2 bus, Fenrir.

Aww... sweetheart maybe one day.

That is so mean to do to Fenrir. But yet I 🤣.

Oh Fenrir…. 🫂🐾🫂

No claws out. The puss may still be won over🤣

😂

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

THWACK!!

I always feel a little sorry for the cats when they start grooming dogs. It's so much territory!

Poor boo. Bad kitty!

DO NOT make eye contact! Trust the process. Good luck next time buddy.

This is hilarious. Fenrir has the look of love in his eyes...lol.

He's trying.

Oh, poor Fenrir

Never make eye contact!

Poor Fenrir. What a sweetheart.

Awww. Poor guy.

Fenrir, this is a solid approach! You'll get there, buddy

That look. 🥰

The extra smack seemed unnecessary.

Not tonight - I have a headache.

Awww
