Cat and Dog Friends2007-11-25 3:00:19

My sister brought her cat to our house this weekend, our dog became friends with the cat. I thought that it was kind of weird. Please help me figure out why they are friends.

Answers:

It depends on the dog (and the cat). We have shared our home with both dogs and cats. Our dogs understood that the cats were "part of the pack" and we never had any problems.

Not all of our dogs interacted with the cats to the same degree and vice versa. Some dogs and cats just seem to "hit it off".

Our 4 year old dog and 11 year old cat are very affectionate to each other. They often play and chase each other around. I think one of the reasons our dog has always been so good is because she was never alone, she always had to cat to keep her company.

Our cat (who has 3 legs) was used to being around other dogs and cats because I worked for a vet and frequently brought home other pets. However, he seems to be "closer" to this dog than he was to the others we had. So I guess it just depends on their personalities.

It's great that your sister's cat and your dog are friends, it makes visiting so much nicer! Best of luck.

Some dogs just get along with cats. I have 3 dog, 3 puppies, and 3 cats and all of them get along just find. They all help eachother get food off the counter and they all play together. It's just their personality I guess. One of my dogs is blind and the cats will actually lead him around the house so he won't run into anything or fall down the stairs.

Because they like each other and can see through the species barrier.
