Not _absoulutely_ true. We had a cat that was, on occasion, known to herd
dogs. When some 'stranger' made the mistake of trespassing on our property,
that is. It's rather funny to see a full-size standard poodle in full flight,
being pursued by a circa 20 lb tiger-striped American Shorthair. Especially
since the cat would abort the pursuit as soon as the dog crossed the property-
line, outgoing.
