does your dog get along with ur cat?

Tweet

My dog and cat get along to a point. My old dog and cat that I used to have would play fight each other all the time and then help clean each others ears and be extra cute. My current dog and cat go through phases of what I'ld call the dog telling on the cat for being bad. To elaborate, my cat with go to the dogs dish and stand in it to make a metal pop noise when he stands in the empty dish. When my cat does this my dog usually runs to me and looks at me then looks at the cat as if to say, "daddy, hes being naughty". Its hilarious that they behave like a couple of real children in that aspect cause I can read their body language pretty well. They fight a little bit when either of them get out of line, but for the most part my big old dog is afraid of the cat, cause the cat knows what buttons to push on my dog. It is nice to see my dog assert himself every now and then by flat out hitting the cat on the head with his paw. I hope you all do realise that dogs and cats aren't people and a little dominance is perfectly fine as long as no one is getting hurt or being too aggressive. I used to work at a dog daycare and everything that my pets do is within the acceptable limits in socialization between animals.
