10 ways my dog chases cars after I accidentally fed him cat food

I accidentally fed the dog some cat food. He still engages in one of his favorite pastimes, chasing cars, but here are 10 ways he does it a little different.

With an air of feline indifference, only chasing if the car looks expensive enough.

Stealthily, stalking from behind bushes and then pouncing at the last second.

Jumping onto the car’s roof, trying to find the perfect sunny spot to nap.

In zigzags, reminiscent of a cat chasing a laser pointer.

Pausing midway, distracted by the allure of climbing a nearby tree.

Giving up the chase to roll around on the sidewalk, because the scent there is suddenly irresistible.

Getting side-tracked by trying to bat at the hanging air fresheners inside the car.

Chasing only the cars that purr—like those quiet hybrid engines.

Making a game out of it: swiping at the tires as they roll by, attempting to “catch” them.

Preferring to chase after convertible cars so he can try to jump in and curl up on a passenger’s lap.
