myLot reputation of 89/100. 5mayday (484)   ranked 225 out of 5,914 in cats4 months ago

we are moving to a bigger house soon, and everyone in my family wants to get a dog too. So we can take it out for a walk etc etc that's different from a cat. But I am thinking that most be really hard for a cat and a dog to get along?

I have heard many people that have both cat and dogs, but most of them grow up togheter so that's a different story...

It's not always true that cats and dogs don't get along unless raised together. My friend has an older dog and just got kittens and all get along fine. As with getting any new pet, they just need time to get used to each other.
I would suggest getting a puppy though, or a smaller dog. A large dog who is not familiar with cats could hurt it.
If you plan to get a large adult dog, do some background research to see if he is familiar and friendly with cats.

thanks for the reply, I think I am more sure about getting a dog now^^ and yes, my mom wanted to get a small breed and probably will try to get a puppy.

Hi!!
A adult dog will find it diffult to adjust itself with kittens,so,you will have to bring a puppy first, and you will have to trained it,so that it will not hurt the kittens,instead it will treat the kitten as its family,and hence accustomed itself to the enviornment.

I've (almost) never had problems with cats and dogs not getting along, but it will depend alot on the dog's temperament. I've had Rottweilers and Pitbulls that I raised from puppies, and they all got along great with my cats. The only problem I ever had was when one of my cats had a litter of kittens and she kept attacking my Pittbull thinking it was going to hurt them.

lol, thanks for replying and sharing ur story. It was funny that the cat atacked a pittbull. but I guess everything is all right now?

Yeah, they're all fine. I think it hurt the Pitt's feelings; she was just curious as to what the noise was that was coming from under the bed. After a day or two the mama cat decided everything was okay and stopped going after her everytime she came in the room. It was really funny to watch, 'cause my poor Pitt didn't have a clue as to why Mama kept going after her, and she was pouting in the living room. lol
