The feud between cats and dogs is now in the past! There are just way too many videos on the internet of cats and dogs taking naps, sharing food, and just generally being loving towards one another. It seems that they have buried their hatchets and are totally down to hang out in a patch of sunlight together while their owners marvel.
It is possible to raise them together without any problems.
The biggest element of having dogs and cats that can coexist is how they are raised. If you bring a kitten into the house with a dog, you just need to take the time to get them used to each other. Once you do that, you can have them engage in supervised playtime. Eventually, you can leave them home with one another! Just make sure you have developed trust between them and you.
Fresh Pet recommends that you start out with a puppy and kitten to ensure the best friendship ever!
On their website, they list a few tips. This is one of the most important:
One of the best ways to get cats and dogs to coexist is simply to raise them together. Puppies are more easily trained than dogs and tend to be less confident, so they are more likely to allow their feline companions to assume the alpha position in the household.
One video shows what a wonderful relationship the two animals can have when given the chance!
In one video, we get to see some of the sweetest interactions between a cat and a dog! We see a bulldog who is fast asleep at first. It makes sense because bulldogs love to nap! Only thing is that one cat isn’t in the mood for napping – they are in the mood for playing!
Walking up to the dog, the cat starts to rub her head against the bulldog’s head.
In quite possibly the cutest display ever, the cat walks up to her sleeping friend and starts to gently nuzzle his large head with her little head. Gently nuzzling back and forth, the cat attempts to softly wake up her friend!
After a few attempts, it doesn’t seem to be paying off!
Bulldogs sleep like a log and the gently nuzzling of the cat doesn’t seem to be doing the trick! Time to try something else! While nuzzling the dogs head, the cat decides that she is going to poke his paw a bit. Unsheathing her claws, she gently pulls at his paw a few times to poke him awake. When the dog flinches slightly, it looks like the cat is making progress!
She decides that the ears are her next target.
Slightly frustrated, the cat moves on to pulling on his ears with her claws! It still doesn’t seem to be doing the trick and she rolls over in exasperation. After a few more pokes and prods, it seems like all hope is futile in waking up a sleeping bulldog.
Instead of trying to fight the current, she decides to join it!
Getting next to her sleeping friend, she curls up and decides that she is ready to take a nap herself.
