I do. And they have daily battles. Jealousy. and at least a weekly chase. The cat chases the dog. How do you deal with your animal battles? Or do they get along?

Yes, right now we own 2 dogs and 7 cats--2 birds and a fish too lol. The most cats and dogs we've ownded together was 4 dogs and 7 cats. Of course they have the little sibling battles, but nothing ever too serious =P The cats are always the winners...the dogs never want to do enough to hurt the cats...but te cats dont care! lol. they send the dogs away crying with some blood drops on their nose.

In our native place we used to have 2 dogs.when 1 dog was let free it used to go and fight with the other dog.We used to tie up the dogs in separate rooms so that they wont fight.

When I was growing up, we had cats -- and we had dogs -- but I don't think we had both at the same time. I guess my parents naturally avoided cat/dog conflicts.

"To fight like cats and dogs," holds true in my household. I think dogs and cats have different social cues and don't know how to 'read' each other was well as they can 'read' people.

Yes, I do. We have 2 male cats and one female Chihuahua puppy. Our chihuahua will chase the cats around, slap at the cats, bite their tails and ears, and get up in their face a barking. The cats will take it for awhile, but when they get tired of it they will attack. The cats have never really hurt her so far. They just scare her away for a while. Our two males cats will also fight each other a lot. It's a male thing. Everybody says two males will fight and all to be the dominant one. One of our cats will chase the puppy around for fun and playing also. I mean sometimes they all get along fine and the next minute they will fight or play with each other.

My dogs have own arguments with each other very often. They also are chasing cat, but they don't hurt her. They let kitten to eat from their bowl and sleep in the same spot....happy pack...;)

I have a dog and 2 cats, also 2 guinea pigs. The cats and dogs do not get along. I mean they dont try and kill each other or anything, but they dont see eye to eye very often. It usually the cats ganging up on the dog, which I find hilarious since I own a rottweiler lol. The cats aren't all that big either :)
