This comparison is most often mentioned when it comes to characterizing someone's hostile relationship. Meanwhile, a dog and a cat can live in love and harmony. In love with the landlord and in agreement with one another.
The first in the house was Toshka. Rather, it was Tornado, who called himself because he did not sit still for a minute, and the headlong ran across his territory. Around the bowl of food, around the maddened mistress. When I was out of food, he was still rushing and happy. Life, speed, and the things around it cut circles.
The grace came to the house a little later. In de jure she was a neighbor cat, but de facto she was not expelled from the house. My puppy was the only one who betrayed her. He began to caress, crawl to one side. The newcomer quickly realized that if he came to terms with him, then I would have nothing left to do with her. It happened over time.
When Lasky was gone, Toshka got bored. Still, no one inspected his bowl, no one fought for his favorite ball. And one wait for the hostess from work - well, quite a long time and boring ...
Increase in family
Mitrofan appeared in the house five years later. A half-year-old, almost adult cat wandered desperately around a shop where my friend and I complained about each other. With all his kind, Keith showed that he did not have everything too.
An extreme surprise for him was the appearance at the door of the newly acquired house of joyfully barking Toshka. He, a little larger than a cat, was still a Dog.
Running into the house of the newcomer, my dog and I went for a walk. For a long time, giving someone time to get used to the unfamiliar environment, to eat and find a cozy place.
For more than a week, Mitroshka has learned to put up with the fact that he is not the only one in the house. Therefore, Toshka also studied, who equated me as a man. My sweet little dog, imagining myself so old-fashioned, treated the cat like a first-born - a salaga. Therefore, as a major in the General family, I often had to give out "out of turn" outfits. One thing, the other. Keeping their eyes low, I gave praise twice against the usual, sweetening them with sweet bits every now and then. And when the soldiers calm down, I set out to read everything about their relationship. I found out that I was doing something right and where was wrong.
Patient and beloved
1. The most successful dating cat and dog passes when one of them is already grown up and brought up, and the other is quite small. Better yet, both are toddlers who are unburdened by sustainable habits.
2. More difficult acquaintance occurs in cats with dogs of hunting breeds. And if your dog is a fighting breed, then it is better to give up his cat with a cat altogether to save his life.
3. The temperament of the pupils should be taken into account. The weak psyche of one of them on the first date can lead to a nervous breakdown. And you have a long time to remember.
4. Both animals should be healthy. Common diseases, except rabies, in cats and dogs are rare. However, skin parasites are transmitted from one to the other.
5. The first meeting must be under your control. Let the beginner get comfortable, and the "owner of the house" will get acquainted with its smell. Do not push them by pushing each other, usually they first study each other at a distance.
6. No matter how peaceful the "old-timer" is, he is unlikely to tolerate the "settler" eating with him from one dish. They can be fed in one room so that they get used to the smell of each other and associate it with something positive, but the bowls should stand as far apart as possible.
7. At first watch closely the game of pets. A cat may injure a dog with sharp claws. But, in turn, he will never forgive his very scratched nose or, God forbid, his eyes. After waiting for the right moment, he will try not to disassemble the cat for "spare parts", then at least to give him a thorough blowout.
8. Kind words and petting the animal should receive equally. Jealousy is a bad ground for developing a friendly relationship.
Mitrofan and Toshka finally agreed. When I come home, I am greeted by both in the hall. So it is necessary to iron with two hands. Strength is a lot of unhidden happiness in dogs and restrained joy in a cat.
