~*Shell*~ Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 1 siberian husky, 1 moggy (DLH) and 2 cockatiels here. I wouldn't trust Zero as far as I could throw him with Mow but I don't let them interact when I'm not around to strictly supervise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abigail Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 2 malamutes and 6 cats here. The level of interaction depends on each cat, but there is certainly no concern about leaving any of them unattended with each other. Last year we also hand reared some rescue kittens, picture under my name is of Wookie with one of them stealing his dry food, and Ill find an aww piccy of my female helping me out :D OMG, that is just an awesome photo of a beautiful situation. Wish I could just reach out and give that malamute a great big, tight hug. You have gotta do that for me pleeeaaaase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abigail Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 One cat,a tabby who was here before Zoe came along...We separated them initially but it took years for the cat to not run off when Zoe approached, they are fine together now, even roll around on the floor together for a belly rub although the cat would prefer if she were an only child ;) Mostly we have to stop Zoe following the cat everywhere and her constant need to see if she smells the same as 5 minutes ago.... So, I guess the cat is Zoe's idea of Channel No. 5 :D :D I could never get tired of seeing cats and dogs forming a bond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokhahouse Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) We introduced two kittens to the family late last year. At first we were very careful because our DSH moggy was only 6 weeks old and 460grams when we got him.He is an orphan and had been hand raised since two weeks old by a friend, he was not doing so well as his siblings so we took him on. He has proven to be such a brave thing. He craves attention from the dogs, always rubbing up against them, teasing them and doesnt mind being licked from top to toe. Our other kitten Summer came from a shelter at 9 weeks old, she keeps to herself mostly but is getting braver every day. All in all it has worked really well, although I never leave the kittens unattended with the dogs, just in case.I dont think Mokha and Molly realise the cats we see on walk are the same species as they live with. Molly is scared of wandering cats but is not at all fussed with ours. Seeing Mokha and Shadow (our little orphan kitten) cuddles up together is priceless.

RPMgirl Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 What a fantastic pic of your poodle and burmese. I had a Burmese cat in my youth but my hubby hates cats. I wish I could have a cat as well However, am just sticking with the one lab puppy for now. I'm going to wait (as you suggested) for another dog a bit later on.

Kirty Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I have four cats and four dogs. I also have a foster dog and lots of foster cats and kittens. No dramas here but the cats and dogs never mix together unsupervised. Our cats are indoor only and I would not trust the dogs if a cat ran through their yard.

Kirov_grrl Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 We have one dog and 3 cats - 2 moggies and one maine coon. The 4 of them get along so well... they spend all day indoors together when we are at work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippets Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Yes I have 2 Birmans. Got them as adults from a cat breeder. Rio was imported from Norway (he has a norwegian accented meow :D ) and Holly is also an ex-queen. They own the house and don't put up with any crap from the dogs Everyone has their own designated area of the bed :D Edited April 18, 2010 by whippets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dramas here but the cats and dogs never mix together unsupervised. Our cats are indoor only and I would not trust the dogs if a cat ran through their yard. Good for you for rescuing cats and kittens in need Those photos of greyhound and cat speaks volumes especially given that most greyhounds are usually trained to kill (given that most are bred to chase in order to win races). A sad existence for the unfortunate greyhound that is often bred to race and if it doesn't meet the grade is readily given the green dream when it could have made such a beautiful pet; I know I have gone off-topic here but those photos are really touching.

dog geek Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) I love these threads - get ready for the same old same old, guys, I'm gunna trot out my pictures of the cathounds... Here is my Chocolate Silver Tabby Oriental, Ishbi, demonstrating the main use for a dog: This is my Red-Point Himi, Kizmet, having been dragged around the back yard by the scruff by my Whippet, Manny... they were both astonished and displeased when I erupted out the back door squawking and flapping to rescue her, and Kizmet slapped my hand when I went ot pick her up and stalked back up to the house in high dudgeon - they were PLAYING, mum! And here Manny is, demonstrating the main use of a fluffy cat in winter - as Winter Whippet Woolies: And Manny again, once more Ishbi demonstrates his Canine Foot Warmer (Manny is pretty much saying "eeeek! Your toes are COLD" but is too sweet to disturb the cat... Ishbi is just saying "shut up and stop complaining" And this is Kizmet, twining around her Afghans (who have just been bathed and blowdried - of COURSE they need to sit in the dirt!): Edited April 18, 2010 by dog geek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PooMother Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 We have always had both. However with our current dogs the cats were here first. We have 7 cats (12 year old birman, maine coon, 3 persians and 2 exotics) after our old dog passed we got our 3 dogs, 2 border collies and a shepherd. The borders love the cats and clean their faces my shepherd has decided he now wants to eat the cats so we are keeping a close eye on him. He hasnt actually done any real harm to them but I now dont trust him with the cats at all. Other than the shep we have never had any issues with either getting on, the cats rule the house and everything and everyone in it and the borders know this and know thier place :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ams Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) I have 11 dogs (10 shar pei + 1 labrador), 7 cats (4 moggies, 1 Abyssinian, 1 Devon Rex, 1 rex cross and 3 devon rex kittens. Kitty sitting duties for Sirius and for Asante sana Couch time with Asante sana and Morpheus. Basically he doesn't understand he is a cat. Mopheus found the perfect hot water blanket in winter - just curl up on Anishinaabe Acheron (dog) and Morpheus (kitten) having a tender moment. The look on poor Acheron's face is because Morpheus was trying to suckle Edited April 18, 2010 by Ams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
