Can cats and dogs live in harmony, sometimes, always or never?
Sure they can. My aunt has a dog and a cat. They sleep, play and even eat together.
Hi Ethel,
I believe it depends on the situation. In my household, my dogs and cats get along just fine, as long as they aren't too close to each other for too long. Just today, my female cat, Bella, hissed at my 6 lb Chihuahua Tiny, just because he got up by her face for too long.
Cats and dogs can definitely live in harmony. My daughter's cat lays her head on the dogs belly while they sleep. They will even share the same dog bed. Very cute.

I know it is possible because I have a Shetland Sheepdog and a cat who get along well. The dog came first and the cat came as a kitten years later. They're both male, but I don't know if that makes any difference. The dog just lets the cat do whatever it wants, even if the cat wants the dog's food, Scout (the dog) is so easy going that I am sure Snoop (the cat) takes advantage of him, but they never fight or chase each other or anything like that.

Is it just me or are others finding that it takes too much time for the green 'share' to respond? Sometimes I have to click 2 or 3 times.

We keep our kitten's nails trimmed regularly, and we model how to use the scratching post, but he seems bent on ignoring that it even exists. He also likes to try and sharpen his nails on the carpet. Aside from declawing, what methods have you found effective for training your cat(s) and saving...

Have never owned a cat in my life. Need advice on outdoor igloos and general care of outdoor cats.
