The Saint Bernard Lay Still While a Red Tabby Climbed Him Like a Hill

AI imagesaint bernardexotic shorthairplaytime

The Saint Bernard has lain down on the rug, and the cat has decided that makes him a mountain. The big dog rests his chin on the floor, his deep brown eyes gazing up with mild patience. Scrambling across his back, a red tabby Exotic Shorthair has her paws planted and her head turned, in the middle of an important climb. A water bowl, a pair of slippers, and a pile of laundry sit in the background.

Saint Bernards are large, gentle dogs, often described as patient and good with others. Their size means they're best with plenty of space, and their thick coats can lead to overheating in warm rooms, so keep them cool and hydrated.

Cats love to climb, and a calm dog can look like a very interesting piece of furniture. Exotic Shorthairs usually prefer lounging to climbing, so this one might be a little adventurous. If your cat likes to explore your dog's body, make sure the dog is comfortable and that no one gets scratched.

Teach the dog to stay calm while the cat settles, and give the cat other things to climb, such as a cat tree. The dog here appears unbothered, looking like he has all the time in the world. This is a good example of patience, delivered in large form. The cat, for her part, seems very pleased with the view from the top.
