^ I'd call it a Mexican standoff, but I'm not sure if that's a politically correct term any more and I don't think the dog even realised that the cat was most likely plotting murder (with the look in his eyes that said he wanted to rip the dog limb from limb and beat her over the head with the soggy ends). He restrained himself, though, and in the end they came to some sort of agreement, which involved the dog being nowhere near the cat.
