Cats 'n' Dogs  

I lucked out and got great advice early on. Feed the cats first and make sure the dogs see you do it. Dogs identify pecking order by who eats first. If you want a good relationship all around, make sure the dog sees you eat, then feed the cats, and finally, the dogs. The dogs will see the cats as higher on the food chain than they are and be respectful of them. They are much less likely to act agressively with the cats.

Mind you, it can back fire. My cats push my dogs around all the time. The kitten will follow the dog around swatting her tail. Another cat (who btw has only one eye and 8 toes on each front foot-we say "too many toes, not enough eyes") beats the snot out of my dog at least 3 times a week. We have to put her in check. But it is better. The cats are not bothered by the dogs. They aren't chased or nipped at. No fighting between them at all.

*LMBO* I love your cat!

My moms cat reacts more to the cats and kittens next door, then she does dogs. She doesn't really seem to have an issue with dogs. A while back, when we were staying at my grandmas, our cat just sniffed at her dog then ignored it.

Your cat is really pretty (=

I've had a couple of cats actually run dogs out of the yard. I'd tell you about them but I'm on my cell phone & its too much work to do with 1 finger.

My indoor cat has never been around dogs but he doesn't like them. She doesn't like any animal that comes around our yard. She is our guard kitty and lets us know that something shouldn't be here. Whether it is a skunk, owl, or dog.
She will start meowing and running from window to window to let us know.

The last dog my cat saw was a little tiny daschund, and he didn't have a problem with it. I've never seen him with a larger dog, though. As for my husband's cat, she hates dogs of all kinds, and will bat at the,, and bark at the.
