Are your cat(s) and dog(s) friends?

My two are as thick as thieves; I even came home unexpectedly not long ago and found the cat literally flipping treats down to the dog from their canister on the kitchen counter (and he didn't even have the good grace to look 'busted')...

One lab is paranoid about attention being directed away from her, the other just thinks that cat is the bee's knees. I'm sure the cat would get along with the second lab, but the first one is a bit stupid and runs at him in a threatening manner, even if she doesn't mean it.

The cats beg to differ

:P

a Sheltie, and when she was about four we brought home a tiny kitten. They were inseparable, sleeping, playing, wrestling together constantly. Well, you knoe how these things go, and one day the dog had to go to doggie heaven. After that, the poor cat would wander the house, searching and calling her friend. It was heartbreaking <snif>. We'd had enough of cleaning the back yard, so we got another kitten, and that did the trick. We subsequently got a third, and the old cat died a year ago, so we got a replacement, and so it goes.

On edit: My sister had a dog (gigantig black lab) and cat (fluffy orange) who were best buddies, the cat would even ride around on the dog's back. Then the dog died, and they replaced her with a rambunctious Australian Shepherd, and poor Felix has had his nose out of joint ever since. Yeah, it's Felix, the kids named him.

The day they met, kitty wasn't so sure about Rusty, but soon they were big buddies. They slept together in the big doghouse, played on the lawn, and watched out for each other. No neighborhood cat was allowed in the yard to molest kitty.

In the weeks after Rusty's death, kitty wandered the backyard, crying for his best friend. It was heartbreaking.

I think Sid would do that, if anything ever happened to Grover, too. :hug:

and the dogs live downstairs. The dogs very much would like to visit the kitties but I don't have a line of credit with the veterinarian so they aren't allowed.
