I love cats but my two dogs also. wouldn't try anything with a cat at this stage.😻

I've always had both cats and dogs together. I've had many different breeds including many mixed breeds. I've never had a issue with any of them getting along, and haven't found one breed to be better than another. Right now I have a pitbull and a chihuahua and both are just fine living with my 8 cats!! We're one big happy fur family!!!🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐕🐕

@@fluffycat2728 Yes, there will probably always be a little "getting used to each other time" at first, if you bring one in after having the other ones for a while. I always introduce them while keeping them in an enclosed area for a while so the others can smell them and get used to them. Usually in a fenced off area or in a kennel. I would never suggest you just put them all together right away.

Cavs, Pugs, Bassets, and Bulldogs are great pets and friends, but due to the physical deformities the breeders select for, these dogs are, more often than not, walking vet bills.

Thanks for the FYI. It's sad that "looks" seem more important to breeders than health.

I adopted an 8 year old Labrador retriever from the humane society in august of 2021 and adopted two cats from a shelter in February of this year and they are all getting along great 🥰 with my daughter (5 y/o) as well 🙂🙂

Had a Maltese and at the time we had two cats and they got along just fine we now have a Yorkie and four cats and they all get along just fine I think if in the beginning whatever animal was there first if you associate the newcomer with some extra love and attention and affection it goes a long way to helping them except the newcomer in the family

My sister had three cats while in college. Then she got married and got her husband a miniature schnauzer. They all got along famously.

My chihuahuas did well with cats. Our border collie mix loves our 3 cats. There’s a cat at the shop n every time we go there she’s so happy to see her. 😂 Even when I take her for walks she gets excited to see a cat. She’s the same way about people. 🥰

My Golden Retriever "Bear" was so friendly with humans and felines. The cats would nestle at his belly between his front & hind limbs like they were his babies. He would raise his paws to shake hands & all of us would lick each other clean.

I've had a dog ,cats,birds and gerbils all at the same time and mostly without issue. I also grew up around farm animals so I like animals period . Currently I have two awesome,pawsome male cats (both neutered ) named Silver and Osssy and I may adopt a senior cat when my boys eventually cross the bridge. For now I enjoy every snuggle,every playtime and every minuite I can with them :)

No wonder our Daisy loved her cats! She had a lot of Collie in her, her mama was an AKC registered sled dog, her daddy, unknown. She loved her Rudy Valentino, and he mourned her when we put her down...

Have both, dog is a Labrador. Not uncommon to see the cat cuddling with the dog.

It's not called a cat being friendly with a dog; it's called having an extra food bowl in the house.

When I do get a cat/dog. This information is helpful. Purring Journal thank you.. Salutations 🤗

My rescue cat chose me and my beagle. He brushed up against her, she gave him a playful sniff, and he jumped up on my lap. My rescuer said, "Looks like you guys have a cat now."

Thanks for mentioning mutts. 💗 With a mutt you could find all of those breeds to hang with your cat in a single dog!

Mutts also tend to have less breed specific health issues so it's a win win with a pure bred mutt :)

As long as they give the cat(s) their space and leave their food, water, bed,and litter box alone, and don't play rough with them.

Any dog can get along with cat. I always had dogs and cats together of different breeds and they always got along well. It is just a matter of how those pets are raised and used to be in each others company. When little, we had a poodle which I was terrified off as she was always aggressive towards me. The day she died was the biggest relief.

Please keep in mind the breeding troubles behind pugs! There is a reason they have breathing difficulties and other issues. Just wanting to help the level of awareness, please look into it. Cheers 👍

I wish I can have a dog but my lifestyle won’t allow it and I’m not the right person to own a dog . Note to anyone wanting any kind of pet: ask yourself questions first! E.g would I change my life and routine to properly care for this animal? And do lots of research

"Sine collies are sensitive dogs they also tend to be barker-" my collie barking..... Me: NOOOOOOOOOO

I think the main thing is dogs have to be calm, highly strung dogs will scare cats

I accidentally acquired a German Shepherd. He totally adores my cats and started laying down to make friends with them before I got the chance to ask him to so. He's fabulous with them, but they're convinced he's a giant monster so they try to scratch him if I don't get in the way of their claws. His love for them hasn't changed, despite a couple gnarly scratches I expected him to react to. He didn't even bark, he just looked confused and took a step backwards. I don't know anything about dogs, but I'm totally impressed with him. ...Now I just have to convince my cats to mirror his affection back to him, or at least to stop scratching him when he tries to lay a couple feet away and fawn at them.

I'm not surprised the least bit by your Number 1 choice. My Jerry used to absolutely adore cats. Same with Jenny who I had before.

I would add border collie to that list!!! My 12 year old loves cats!!! She just runs rights up and stares at them!!! She actually will drool the only time she does that. She also previously would follow my sisters pet rats around the house. Just watching never aggressive never violent just a friendly “stalker”!!!

Kitty and I miss so much her late canine big brother Gringo the lab mix! He always had a soft spot for cats, he'd even befriend cats during our daily walks. But their favorite activity was napping together... I mean Kitty also loved to pounce on him, he'd only cry but never really fight back

he looked after kittens..counting and such

1. Beagle 2. Golden Retriever 3. Labrador Retriever 4. Pug 5. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 6. Basset Hound 7. Collie (smooth/shorthaired or rough/longhaired) 8. English Bulldog 9. Papillon 10. Poodle (toy, miniature, or standard) (I changed the list to size ascending order)

I have two dogs and two cats in my house.

Our placid King Charles spaniel is incredible and loves his brother Howard, who is our 15 year old rag doll cat

My poodle and Siamese were besties. My brother’s beagle got along with all of our cats after she got her nose bopped a few times by the cats. I’m looking into getting a labradoodle as my service dog. It’s good to know it’s likely to get along

I had a shih tzu for 15 yrs. She got along w my 3 cats great.

We have a labrodoodle. She is 13 weeks old and always wants to play with the cat but generally plays too rough. Still, the cat will approach the dog to initiate play. we shall see how it goes as she matures

My cat Spunky was raised around and got along really well with my step dad's Blue Healer/Cattle Dog Dotty. She was really chill though and was too obsessed with following my step dad around and finding little nothings on the floor for us to throw for her to pay any attention to the cats. I do miss that dog. My cat absolutely hated my grandma's hyper Yorkiepoo Willy though when I tried to watch him.

I have two cats and a dog. Going somewhere new with those guys is always an adventure! Kuzimir (our male cat) is our scaredy cat. He's always scared the most. Mia (female cat) is the bravest, but would start meowing as Kuzya meows because they are very good friends. Portos.... he never cares.

Great video! Gosh,,,,, this footage must have been such a treat to cover!! Quick QUESTION! How important is it to begin puppies and kittens together VS when they are older?????

I had a Siamese and a German shepherd he would try so hard to be friends with her but she would have none of it

I love both cats and dogs, but my cat is a "one person only, no one else" type of cat. I brought my friends Maltese over once and my cat did not appreciate the energy my friends little dog had! (Might have been the age difference?) This was very informative, thank you!

I'm not an expert by any means it just seems to me like it depends how they grow up. It seems like if your cat grows up around one person then it attaches to that one person and it takes alot of time to really warm up to others, if ever. But I have friends who have always got random people coming in their house at all hours of the day, and crashing all night, and their cats are so freaking chill with everyone. I think it's more about conditioning than anything. Same with dogs being okay with cats. If you raise a dog around cats as a puppy, of course it's going to be cool with cats. Of course there are always exceptions, this is just my observation from my experience.

I have a taco terrier and a cat. Dog was here first and then the kitten came to be a house cat. My terrier taught the kitten to go outside for his "business", and they run and play in the yard. If kitty goes off for awhile, they always touch noses when he returns. And my Terrier worries when he isn't home in the morning or at night when it is bedtime. She goes to the door an looks for him and if she goes out she will go to each side of the yard and barks for him. If he is close enough to hear, he will come running.

My kitten (Tabitha) gets along with my parents miniature golden doodle (Poppy). When I first brought Tabi home, Poppy was very aggressive. It took time, patience, and work to get Poppy to not be aggressive. Now they get along andTabitha likes sleeping in Poppy’s crate.

So wish I wasn't severely allergic to.them. they're my favorite breeds. I'm not allergic to other purebreds that I know of- just retrievers.

As far as I know, cats and dog getting along depends mostly on how used the cat is to dogs. Dogs are pack animals, and they understand that the cat is a part of the pack if the owners treat it as family. Cats on the other hand are a bit more solitary and less trusting, and generally smaller than dogs. They are as much prey as they are predators, so it's easier to adopt a kitten when you have a dog than the other way around. Unless your cat is used to dogs.

I have always had both.

We have seven cats and two dogs. A Golden Retriever and a Shiba Inu. All our critters get along very well together. They play and often nap together. The cats especially love Maxx our golden. They often follow him from room to room. We call this Maxx’s posse.

My german shepherd gets along with my cats she does seem to pest them sometimes but it never stops them from all snugging together at night its so cute

Have one orange & white short hair tabby kitty 🐈 cat ! 😻🥰😺 Thanks, good info! 🤗😎

My late sheltie Pheobe would often try to play with the neighborhood cats ❤

When I was a teenager, we had an orange cat who'd cuddle up with my 200 lb St. Bernard.

Although misunderstood, pitbulls are a very family friendly breed. They are very protective of children and can extend to cats. My friends pitbull which he trained to bird hunt is very sweet and gets pushed around by his cats on the regular. He could destroy but chooses not to because he sees them as part of the pack.

I have discovered that you can get your dog and cat to get along when you raise them when they are puppies and kittens.

I have both

My sister and her husband has 2 cats and 1 cute dog. The dog is a Bichon Frise and the cats are cute tabbies. All 3 do get along.

Nice! And what about the cat breeds that are more likely to get along with dogs?

I have a lab that will stop my cats from fighting each other. She also protects my smallest cat from our kitten. Our kitten is a little too hyper active and it stresses my smallest cat sometimes. So my lab steps in and stops our kitten.

Is my tablet listening in on me again? We have two cats and are finally moving into a place with a yard so I want a puppy ASAP. My concern is for my 9 and 10 year old cats (especially the shy one) but I thought beagles might be a bit too active for us; they are just what I picture when someone says “dog.”

io amo entrambi senza problemi... come amo tanto i cani che non hanno una razza specifica e sono in tanti rifugi che aspettano solo di essere amati ed accuditi e' sempre l'amore che fa la differenza...
