Do cats really hate dogs?
My oldest cat, Rita, has not yet become 'friendly' with my Boston,
despite everything I've tried over the past 7 months! The younger one is fine, but then he's a big baby! Should I just start the e-collar on my cat, or what? LOL?..... Help! |

Just because you are unable to grasp any humor in the final sentance of my post, I did ask a legitimate question. My 9 month old pup is not getting on well with my older cat - or is this topic beneath you to discuss? Let me know. And don't even try calling me a troll again, no matter how cleverly you try to disguise it. |

Until I've got a better idea of your expectations, I can only speculate on the nature of 'friendly' and why it's important to you. My remaining cat despises dogs. *From afar. *She's terrified of them up close. *Neither attitude is a problem, since she has her own dog-free territory in the house where she can do her cat-thing and they can do their dog-thing without feline commentary. As long as she doesn't saunter out to the livingroom and start attacking the dogs, which another of my slightly demented cats did, she's friendly enough. Yes, Mealey, I'd like them to plan camping trips together. Are you an idiot? I'd like for them to be able to lay next to one another without growling, hissing, scratching, or nipping. Like I'm sure you had once wished for on a first date. Neither is terrified of one another, as they are in your home. They simply have not found a common ground on which to exist. Much like you and friendly people. Does that clear up the importance of it to me, per your satisfaction? |

and said: Does that clear up the importance of it to me, per your satisfaction? Gee Shane, if you didn't come here to troll, then here's my lifestyle: Dogs acquired in: 1973, (PT 1986), 1988, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2005 (interim boarders and fosters as well) Cats acquired: 1983, 1985, 1993, 2001 All get along beautifully, sleep together, play together. The current senior cat, at 13, has medical and mental issues, but is well controlled and the dogs put up with all of her bizarreness. First dog with first cat was a bit of a challenge, but we overcame it quickly and all was well for the several years they continued to exist together. No e-collars were ever involved, for dogs or cats, so I guess I just live right. Everyone knows that some things aren't allowed. You might want to try thinking that way. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

Your a bit more than provincial - more like parochial....you might
check my spelling on that, if you run out of idiotic things to say. I can also see why you would choose not to have your dumbass repliles archived...what a coward. Carry on, little chap. I can't speak for Mary but I'm still confused. Do your dog and cat have to camp _for_ their first date or _prior_ to their first date? And are you aware that interspecies sex between felines and canines is not allowed on this planet? On yours, maybe. But not here, not just yet. We're a bit provincial but we're working on it.- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text - |

I don't recall asking about your lifestyle, or anyone elses, but since you mention all that data, might I ask, then, HOW it is you overcame the challenge with the first cat? That IS WHAT MY ORIGINAL QUESTION WAS ABOUT anyway, so maybe you can be of assistance, despite trying not to be. I eagerly await your reply, for real!
