ahhm.. i want to have a puppy and my sister want a kitten.. is it posibble that they can be together. because me and my sister share the same room

Answers:

I raised dogs, and my daughter raised Persian cats.. All got along splendidly in our home..We did need to put the cat food up high, where the dogs couldn't steal it..

One dog took it upon herself to be the "keeper of the cats"..she would make them use their own litter boxes, and get upset if one used the other's box!

Another huge dog was the cat's bed..He would sleep with 6 cats sleeping on his back..all nice and warm..

Of course. Especially since they will grow up together. This will work our just fine.

Let them grow up around each other, supervised and they should be alright. My dog loves our kitten.

yes as long as they are young enough to get used to each other we have 3 cats and a small dog. when they are first getting used to each other let them sniff at each other from under a door to get used to each other

I had a dog and a cat for years,they were doing just fine

Yes. Lots of people have dogs and cats in the same house as pets. We had the cat first. When it was grown, we got a puppy. The puppy thought the cat was its mother or something. He loved her, but she hated him. He would try to go up to her and lick her, and she would hiss at him and bat him. Soon enough, she got used to him. And then they were best buddies. When the cat would come in from being out, the dog would go lick and slobber all over her. And she would let him. When the dog was outside once, another bigger dog came running into the yard. The cat got between the two dogs and hissed and arched its back and the strange dog protecting our dog. It was the neatest thing to see.

absolutely, especially if you put them together as babies.

Yes you can. Especially if they grow up and play together. I had a dog and a cat (God bless their souls) who grew up together, and they sometimes even ate from the same bowl! Well, my dog didn't like it when my cat shared her food, but she gave in anyway.
