I have a boxer that is about a year and a half old. He is in no way a mean dog but he seems to have the stereotypical obsession with cats. He will look out of the window for hours at a time just to see one, and pulls at the leash if he sees one on a walk. He is very calm much of the time, and I try to give him enough exercise.

This is his prey drive acting up. Just like he would for a squirrel or chipmunk, its just another small animal and all fair game to him. Work on teaching the command ‘leave it’. It can come in handy in many situations but especially ones like this. Also helps to see the cat first and anticipate his reaction. When he spots it give the command firm and clear. Also I would suggest bringing a toy or some treats with you so you can praise him with it when he does. That way you are redirecting him telling him to pay no attention to the cat, then he looks to you and is rewarded for it!
