Who is the boss in your house...Is it the cat or the dog?

I have four cats and a dog. The largest (and second oldest) of the cats is the "Alpha lead animal" in the house. At 20+ lbs, he actually outweighs the dog by a bit, but he's not a bully... but he does have the "eat &%$# and die, mutt!" look down to a fine art, and the dog just slinks back to his bed. Actually, they are pretty good buds and will curl up together and go to sleep in a "bundle" when it's cold.

The only ones who live in here are my cat and myself, and the cat's definitely the boss! ;-)

Tiger, my 7 1/2 yr old, 20 pounder, orange tabby male, is "The Boss". He gets first use of the new catnip toy, first at the cleaned litter and boots out all of the other 3 cats if he decided their sleeping spot is suddenly 'his'. Now I have an assistance dog, a black lab named Hayden, and it has been war from first sight with Tigger. The other cats dont mind him, but the poor dog cant get a decent meal or a drink with Tigg harassing him verbally or physically (thank goodness I had his front claws declawed when he was a kitten). Tigger waits for him to turn the corner and jumps at him and yells horribly. Even after a year, Tigger will still not compromise. Hayden puts up with it, but once in awhile enough is enough and he'll bark quite loudly at Tigger, who'll then turn tail and run (the Wimp!). Hayden walks up to me after the barking and I pet him and he relaxes and takes a nap. My other male cat Nor will walk all over the restin Hayden and sometimes snuggle in his fur for a nap himself, but its no go with "the Boss", who glares at Hayden asd company from across the room before he falls asleep, too. LOL!

My dog rules over the cat and I rule over the dog. So the ranks in my house are Me, my dog Abby, then my cat Cookie.

The cats are def. the bosses of the house. They push around my two dogs, who just take it. One of my cats, Molly, is mean and often goes on fits. She'll attack anyone that gets in her way, and scream while she does it. The only other cat that can put her in her place is Monstro. He is a big cat, so she doesn't fight him. So I guess I'd say he is the boss of the house, even though he doesnt push around the dogs as much, and is laid back.

i would say my dog because hes the only pet that stays in the house. we have these stray cats and the youngest cat looked like he wasnt eating and i would always put food down for him. i think what was happening is the stray cats would come and make him leave so now when i feed him either i stay out while he is eating or i bring him in the house so he gets some food. the second to youngest has been missing for awhile we think the stray cats made him leave. i keep hopping he will show up but the more time goes by and we dont see him i think something happened to him which really upsets me.

Ha ha ha! We have 4 dogs and a cat. The largest dog is over 100 pounds... but the CAT totally runs our house. It's hilarious... he even has ME trained. But he can walk all over those dogs! If we didn't have the cat, then certainly, the big shepherd would rule. He's definitly second in command!!

In my house our dog jerry is the boss...He always exvel and rule over our susu cat...He is very powerful even if he is small in appearance.He rules all over..He dont give susu anything to eat...When susu came in,he was very friendly with her but later on relising that my sister likes to be with susu all the time,he started hating her...Thats where it all started.Now he hate her to the core and has bitten her twice already..So we are planning to shift him to ouside the house...

LOL I have 3 dogs and a cat..one of them is a great dane, but the smallest and oldest of my dogs, Jazmine, is actually the boss. She is in charge and gets whatever she wants...the other 2 dogs dont dare mess with her..and the cat can't be bothered to care about ruling the house. He just wants to be loved when he wants his kitty love and he wants food and a comfy place to curl up in a ball and take a nap.. lol

haha, I am defnitally the boss of my cat. She knows when im mad. I think its my rats. They always try to kick my cats butt. LOL. Definitally the rats.

My cat is the boss. We bought this house for her. She has us totally wrapped. I swear she thinks we had our daughter for her. My cat is 14 and loves only me. Until I had my daughter. The old cat loves her. She actually goes looking for her...lol Now mix in dogs. My old girl has trained 6 dogs to date plus one of my Mom's. Plus a couple of cats. She's very good at training other animals. She meets them and then beats on them. She has no claws and only weighs 9 pounds but she's in charge and she knows it. Life will be so much less without the old girl in the house.
