How Cats and Dogs Can Live Harmoniously Together
What does it look like when your cat and dog get along harmoniously?
They might nap together, eat together, wait for you while you groom them, or play together. Perhaps the cat takes the lead, leading the dog on little adventures, discovering fun things along the way. It's also possible that the lively, energetic dog starts "adopting" some cat-like behavior...
When you grab the pet comb to groom your cat, you'll notice it’s always in the most peculiar spots, especially on high surfaces like the fridge or the bar counter. But have you ever seen the dog also claim these high spots?
On the stove, bar counter, piano, or even the fridge!
The dog's agility in jumping allows it to conquer various highlands, and it starts to adopt habits similar to a cat's. As the pet owner, you can't help but laugh and feel a bit proud.
Such harmonious cat-dog partnerships, where the dog "turns into a cat," are quite common in everyday life. The key to this peaceful coexistence lies in the adaptation period.
First, we should try to choose pets with gentle temperaments. Both cats and dogs tend to have a sense of territoriality. When faced with a new companion, they often show initial resistance, which is their form of "jealousy." However, if both pets are high-strung, conflicts are more likely.
Secondly, allow at least seven days for the new and old pets to adapt. Cats and dogs have highly sensitive senses of smell and can identify others through scent. Before the new pet officially enters their territory, pets should be intermittently separated, letting the original resident get familiar with the new pet's scent over time. This process should take at least seven days.
Additionally, when the new and old pets are together, the pet owner should treat them equally. Pets can be like children, craving attention and affection. Whether it's feeding, playing, or grooming, the owner should avoid favoring one and make sure the resident pet feels secure and loved.
Of course, sometimes the harmony between cats and dogs comes down to fate. If, after a period of time, the pets continue to fight or show aggression, the owner should consider postponing the idea of accepting a new companion.
Furthermore, cats tend to be much more sensitive to unfamiliar guests than dogs, so before introducing a new friend to a cat, make sure to calm them down.
