Anyone have a dog who is scared of cats?

Question

A friend of my roommate's brought his Amer. Bulldog mix over with him today. I can honestly say I have never laughed harder watching a dog and a cat interact. Eris(my p.i.t.a cat) fluffed up a bit when Wrench first came in, but that was really the bulk of it. Wrench on the other hand did his best to keep either 4 ft or more if not a person between him and Eris. once she calmed down, any time she came near him he'd either move if not look away.

She tried to play with his tail, a couple paw pokes, a mock charge and actively stalking him. Followed him when he followed Jen into her room and was pretty much his shadow. Scared him off the couch when she pawed at him from underneath it.

And no we didn't purposely let her antagonize him. Any time she looked like she was up to her usual brand of mischief we called her off, but it was still funny once she figured out she could push the dog around a bit. Mind you Wrench is a rather "soft" dog. 

so anyone else have/had or been around a dog who gets that "save me he/she is going to eat my soul" look when a cat is around?

No.

I have a Dobermann with a high/chase drive but mid range gameness because she stops short of killing prey that squawks loudly and flaps its wings in her face. The Seagull toppled off the fence in my back garden and as I ran outside, I thought it would be dead before I got there. No so, she was more mouthing that biting down hard to kill and then retreating. Bird survived because I told her to get inside.

I've seen both scared of both, and both playing with each other. I saw a dog playfully chasing a cat around the corner, then a few seconds later, here they come from the other direction, only this time the cat is chasing the dog. That was so funny!

No, my dog tries to chase cats... but she's intimidated by chickens. Which really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

My dog isnt afraid of cats, he likes cats.

I had a cat when I was little and my neighbors had some hound dog...it would always tree everyones cats. We heard a commotion outside and look out and the hound is BOLTING down the street with my little white cat chasing after him. That cat took no ****.

My grandfather's German Shepherd/ Beagle mix is terrified of cats. When my little sister brought home her cat Lucky nearly knocked me down trying to get away.

Now I just have a cat that is terrified of my rabbit but fights my Boston Terrier.

Well not for no reason. My black lab is terrified of my white cat, cause she will swipe at him if he gets too close. 

Once we put a piece of cheese beside the cat as she was sleeping, the dog was looking at it, slowly moving toward it to get the piece of cheese. but he would not get it, he was too scared. 

Before the cat got fixed the cat would always attack him, we would actually get mad at the cat cause the poor dog would have red eyes from being scratched.
