Commanding Cat Effectively Quiets a Barking Dog With the Feline Equivalent of a Dirty Look

While videographer Devon Meadows and his wife Ashley were out of the house, their Nest Cam caught the hilarious sight of Greyscale,their very commanding cat, effectively quieting their toy poodle Chazz with the feline equivalent of a dirty look and a threatening gesture which was repeated as soon as Chazz let out a whimper. According to Meadows, the dog is new to the household and their cats aren’t used to him yet.

My wife, Ashley, and I have been monitoring our pup at home to get a sense of how much barking he’s been doing. Chazz had just started barking after my wife and I left for work but luckily our cat, Greyscale, shuts that down. Chazz is a two year old toy poodle. We rescued him about a month ago so he is still warming up to the cats. Greyscale is also two years old and we have another cat named pumpkin that is two.
