He adores Maisie beyond all sense or reason. He follows her around wagging his tail hopefully and making puppy eyes at her and he practically wets himself with joy when she thwacks him on the nose or plays with him - he doesn't care which, he's just glad to be getting any kind of attention from her.
He spent a year trying to kill next door's cat Sukie after witnssing Sukie beating Maisie up on the garage roof. He normally loves all cats, but I saw his face and heard the growls when Sukie appeared on the fence - this one indiviudual cat he wanted to hurt, badly. Sukie ended up voluntarily becoming a completely indoor cat after a few months of that and to this day I can't say her name in his hearing without him going berserk. (No-one taught him Sukie's name - he picked it up by himself from listening intently to human conversations.) He also taught Squish the limits of acceptable behaviour around Maisie - Squish is allowed to approach her, sniff her or lick her face, but if he bounces, paws her, yaps at her or makes her hiss Spike disciplines him hard.
As for Maisie - she finds his obsessive psycho fanboy stalking a bit over-the-top, but she is much fonder of him than she likes to admit. She missed him a lot when we moved out and I've seen her rub her face on him in her mellower moments. Plus, she's a small cat that other cats tend to bully, and she did like having a bodyguard.
