The cat beats up the dog...

I'm not sure if I should be laughing, but it's just too funny to watch this cat come out of nowhere and land three solid punches to the dog and then bolt. The dog always has this look of "What the He!!?"

But seriously, is there anything I can do to make the cat less aggressive toward the dog? If he hears him coming up the stairs, Columbo lies in wait for Hunter (the dog). He hides behind furniture, sometimes doing it over and over. Is this Columbo's way of playing, or is this really a mean thing? The dog has never threatened the cat, but is it Columbo's way of testing Hunter?

I realize that after a few years there probably will be scenes of them curling up together by the fire, but until then anything I can do to make them friends?

Some years back, I adopted a kitty named "Abby." Her former owners relinquished her b/ "she couldn't get along w/the dog." Well, I don't have a dog, but the way she completely terrorized the other cats, I know that the truth of her last home was that she beat up on the dog. LOL. Good luck.
