Cats and dogs living together




Many would think that cats and dogs don’t get along. The idea that they hate each other may be brought about by the nature of dogs to chase smaller animals. Television programs showcasing their dislike to each other have strengthened the notion that they are enemies.




One common thing about cats and dogs is that they are both predators. Cats readily jump on anything that moves, like rats, birds and even butterflies. Dogs on the other hand love to chase anything that runs or abruptly moves. What urges the dog to chase smaller animals is its prey drive. Although domesticated, dogs still act upon what nature has designed them to do.


Kittens on the other hand enhance their hunting skills by practicing on certain things such as curtains, plants and dog tails. Dogs are often challenged by the sudden movement of the cat which leads to chases. To avoid this problem, owners having them both as pets keep them as far away from each other as possible.

How a cat reacts on a dog’s presence varies. It may isolate itself because it is not accustomed to having a dog around. Or it can develop a friendly relationship with the dog and play.
They are seeking forever homes where someone is around most of the day. They are looking for homes where children are 5+ and where owners will commit to their training as they are such babies.
They are young enough to be integrated with other dogs and cats. These girls MUST be spayed when old enough and evidence sent to us from your vet
