"Living like a cat with a dog" - that's the definition we used to give the warring people living in the neighborhood. It would seem that this statement should convince any person that the enmity between these animals is inevitable in any case. However, many of us have witnessed quite a peaceful existence of dogs and cats in the same house. So what's the deal here? Maybe to live in the same house may only certain breed? Or is it all depends on the character of pets? Let's try to understand this issue.

Congenital hatred or instinct?

What do you think, what motivates a street dog, cat haunting? Maybe innate hatred or dislike? No. It triggered a hunting instinct. With the same zeal dog can chase, and the man who runs the departing bus, and for any moving object. And caught up with the frightened cat, the dog just sniff it, raids, showing its superiority, and quietly run in the opposite direction. Of course, if the dog is not specifically trained hunting cats - this also happens.

And why does escapes cat? After all, by their nature it is also a hunter. Yes, just that she is afraid to communicate with people who are bigger and stronger than her. Here the instinct of self-preservation. But from the little dogs cats do not run away. They are in a protective posture, hiss, arch your back and are even able to show claws, brushing doggie nose. And in such a situation, it recedes dog - she did not want to have to fight with sharp claws.

As you can see, even in the street, these animals are on a par. What's really nothing to talk about home. By the way, in the home and beyond cats and dogs behave quite differently. For cats "own" the dog and "alien" - these are two opposites. However, for the dog as well. And the animals instinctively know with whom you can be friends with and who better not.

And in this situation, the cat will dominate the dog, even if it will be bigger and stronger than him.

The cat and dog will get used to each other, if the animal is already an adult. Of course, the appearance of a fluffy and lump meow dog did not immediately accept it for granted. It is best to settle a novice in the other room and try to future friends is not met. Let the cat get used to the new home and the dog put up a new scent.

About a week can introduce pets. Be prepared for the fact that the kitten will accept a new neighbor aggressively: will fizz and release the claws. So it shows the behavior of the dog that can stand up for themselves. At first, feed the animals individually equip each own a place to rest. Gradually the cat and dog get used to each other, and after a couple of weeks you will see them sleeping in an embrace in a secluded corner of the house.
