Once, long ago it was led to believe that cat and dog - the eternal enemy. And the truth, how many times we had to see how the dogs are driven baleen-striped, and they do not remain in debt and in response to float sharp claws, often paying belligerent barking brethren fled. Peaceful coexistence here and does not smell, not to mention the friendship between these animals. But always they quarrel? Is it possible to instill such different pets mutual sympathy? Let's think about how to make friends with a cat and dog.

This question is no single answer. Zoologists believe that the true friendship between animals of different species practically does not exist. Peaceful coexistence between cats and dogs, which people often referred to as a sincere expression of sympathy, most experts believe the truce and mutual tolerance. And even the fact that the livestock sleep together, is not evidence of true friendship between them. However, animals can be reconciled. There are several conditions, observing that befriend the dog and the cat is possible.

The principal behavioral differences ancestral "enemies"

Most people believe that the cat is much easier to maintain. After all, a dog needs not only to all manifestations of affection, care and regular walking, but also communication. But representatives of the cat family in this respect - a more unpretentious animals. They will come to you on their hands if they want to receive their portion of stroking and scratching, and will try to retire when they get bored.

Dogs take to his flock the whole family hostess or host, sympathetic to all, including children, and with the right education recognize the power of man. Cats also very independent and allow yourself to love rather than to experience this sense of themselves. Often they are quite aggressive towards children, especially if they came after brought into the house humming.

Almost all dogs by nature - hunters. They laid in the blood, which implies a need to catch up with the game and eat. Even the size of "production" which is several times greater than their own, dogs do not stop. Cats also are predators in their inner essence, they only hunted to a small game, showing their inherent wisdom and sober assessment of forces, if I may say so with respect to animals.

Even the habits of the two species are very different. It is enough to recall the cases in which each of them wagging tail. Dog thus showing friendliness, sympathy and desire to play. Cat is such behavior suggests that it is something angry, irritated, nervous or highly interested. Strong twitching its tail from side to side serves as a warning of the possible use of claws against the source of unwanted emotions.

In most cases, the cat against dog has a leading position. He's smarter and always manages to avoid direct conflict, climbing to heights unattainable or indifferent removed from the eye. But if the dog becomes a leader, then he can easily cause the mustachioed and Stripes neighbor harm, choose the most convenient time for punishment. After quickly flashing legs and bushy tail humming say a dog that is a potential game flees.

In addition, dangerous to a cat can be a bowl of dog because he will not let another animal to his manger. At the same time, meow furry creatures are not so defenseless, his sharp claws can cause considerable harm to other pets, especially if your pet is still a puppy. In this case, as in others, both animals in the house requires a lot of attention from the owners to the stress from the appearance of a neighbor not to aggravate the open hostility. All these differences between the two species and form the basis of their long and difficult relationship of mutual hostility. That is why they find it difficult to understand each other, and without your help it will not turn friendship.

Here are the cat puppy

Most people are interested in, who better to start first - a dog or cat? But usually we are talking about how to settle at even some of them, as most of us already living in the house of a pet. If you do not have four-legged pets, but want to have a cat and a dog, it is best to do it at the same time. And be sure to take a puppy and a kitten as a small age they are easy to get used to this neighborhood, will treat each other with sympathy and interest, tolerance and learn to become good companions for children's pranks.

In this case, any problems with them in the future will not occur, especially if they pay an equal amount of attention to one of the pupils did not feel deprived. Yes, and zoologists claim that had grown up puppy and kitten in the future even after a long time to know each other. This contributes to a strong bond between animals originated in childhood. We know that kids recognize animal "friends" of all those around them from an early age. Therefore, the puppy, who grew up with the kitten, will perceive it as a member of the pack. That's between the kids there is not friendship, and even a kind of familial relationship to the delight of the home will be the guarantee of peace in adult life and make life under the same roof without conflict.

If you have already lived a cat, it is best to take the puppy 3-12 weeks. Kid and adult animal in the house get along easily, especially if the first time does not allow them to go too close contact, as a puppy, always friendly and willing to set up to play with the cat, may meet resistance. It is better to start to try to introduce pets in the distance. And it is important to pay attention to the cat, so she did not seem that with the advent of a new animal she was less loved.

Cats - Animals are smart, they quickly smekaesh who owe the loss of superiority in the master of love. It is fraught with the manifestation of revenge on their part, the insidious and secretive. So pat the cat as often as before, so she did not have a reason to hate the little "outsider." Do not allow your puppy to bother her, biting its tail, ears or tumbling from above. Please note that dogs do not understand the signs of irritation, which are inherent to the cat, so it is often not prepared for what she rushes to unduly obtrusive "friend" and gives him a lesson in "good manners."

Are you familiar with such a method of preventing, how desperately twitching tail or hissing. But inexperienced "outsider" is unlikely to respond to them properly, quickly get out. Therefore, the slightest sign of irritation on the part of furry creatures should be a signal for you to prevent your puppy close communication with purring. Later he realized that it was necessary to stop too hard to show friendliness to keep eyes and ears intact from the sharp claws of the cat.

With regard to aggression on the part of the puppy, then this should not be afraid because of his age and natural friendliness. Some time later, he quickly realizes that being who is not able to bark and growl, for it is not a threat (if Purring will not be increased intolerance and hatred, attacking for no reason). It happens so that your favorite pet or a mustache, noticing how the new "family member" is helpless, can take him under his wing, a doggie treat indifferently. In both cases, the frequent conflicts and bloodshed can be avoided.

Learn also about whether there was sympathy for the cat to the puppy, you can without much work - just carefully observe its behavior. If your purring darling dog bites the tail, the dog lies down or even climbs on top of him, it means that it belongs to the "newcomers" quite friendly. If you notice that a puppy characteristic poses and wagging tail calling the cat to play, you can be sure that the way he expresses its sympathy and readiness to support the peace.

In this case, you can catch your breath and relax, because the issue of friendship between pets solved in the right direction, and half worries are over. To consolidate the achievements you at the first such gesture of sympathy on the part of the dog should be reassuring pat the cat, because she hardly clear what she wants from a puppy. Now just need time to learn how it could be included in the game with a toddler.

Cat and dog

Animals that are already in adulthood, to make friends with each other very hard. A little easier this process takes place in the case before them had experience of co-existence with the representative of the "enemy camp." In another situation, better think carefully about this step and weigh enough if you and your family strength, patience and time for the complex process of rapprochement pets. Be prepared to the fact that peaceful relations can not be achieved, and you have to choose which of the two to leave the house, and who would have to leave, as if it may sound cruel.

A lot depends on the atmosphere of the first meeting of the future neighbors, so when meeting a cat with an adult dog should exercise great caution. If it is in a panic and fright immediately run away from a dog, then thwarted all attempts on his part to catch up with the elusive "game." With the team dog to "sit", praise for the performance of the team. She should understand that if it becomes to treat a cat peacefully and will not chase it, the owner is always praise and encourage her. But in the first days of acquaintance between the pet's adult dog is best to wear a muzzle and leash to take, at any moment for him to keep a pet.

You should understand that the cat will require a lot of time to get used to the presence of another animal in the house and to adapt to the new neighborhood. Often, it takes several months or even more, especially if your favorite before did not come across with the dogs. To the process of adjusting and adapting took less time and was not too traumatic for the psycho-emotional state of both animals, make sure that the cat has always had a place where she could feel safe.

At first, this "oasis of comfort" make a large desk. The ideal option would be another room where the dog can not enter. There need to put a bowl of food and place the house if Purring like to sleep in it. And remember that the tray for the administration of natural needs of the dog needs to block access, otherwise it will create inconvenience for the cat, and then to you, because it can out of fear refuse to use it. Experts advise in advance to make some changes in the life of the existing animal that then it was easier to adjust and come to terms with the emergence of "outsider" on its territory.

Dog and new neighbor-kitten

Special care and attention should be exercised in the case when the house is already living a dog and a kitten appears. After all, if your dog due to natural instinct always treated cats cautious and hostile, even with a young and still very vulnerable members of their species will have problems. If the dog has always been tolerant of the feline family, the particular problems of their further co-existence should arise. Therefore, to assess in advance the temperament and behavioral features of the four-legged pet to understand about his possible reaction to the new neighborhood.

When you bring in a second house pet - whether a puppy or kitten - their first meeting to be organized under the close supervision and closely monitor the reaction of animals to each other. The beginner should get your feet wet, to adapt to an unfamiliar environment, and to those who in the house is hosting a long time, should be allowed to get used to the smell of "outsider." Do not force pets to get acquainted closer force - it should be done at a distance, unobtrusively. Experienced breeders are advised to familiarity with the new "tenant" a good walk the dog, and then feed her. In this case, you will save the animal from further cause for concern and reduce its aggressiveness.

If possible, try to in the first two or three days to isolate the mustachioed baby and dog, sow them in different rooms. In this case, they will not see each other, but will be able to get used to the smell, feeling close proximity. After settling at once both feed pets (even if the dog is fed, she will not refuse to eat something tasty). This will create a pleasant association - a strange odor and food. So the dog will accept a new neighbor.

In the future, should be fed a kitten with a dog in the same room but at a considerable distance from each other, it is best to organize the process of eating in different corners of the room. This will help to ensure that not only the smell of another pet will be perceived positively, but to the type of dog treat it favorably because feeding for any animal - a joyful moment of life. If later the kitten and the dog will eat from the same bowl, try it right away to stop and prevent in the future. This is a necessary condition for the existence of a future peace, because everyone should have their own feeding area.

Make sure that the kitten had eaten, and store it the dishes, because the dog will be satisfied and are always happy to devastate another bowl, driving off the small and defenseless "outsider." You should always be alert and to exercise justice, showing pupils equal treatment to both. So you show them the hardness of the master arm and his love. When your pets completely get used to each other, they will not only play together and relax, but often even to look after each other - to wash or clean the ears.

In addition to the foregoing, deliberating over the difficult task of how to make friends with two very different animals, we should remember that the pet who has lived in the house, will always consider himself a master, and the other will perceive as an outsider encroaching on his property and territory. It is therefore important to give both the same amount of attention to pets - so they do not have to be jealous of you together.

In addition to separate bowls for food, the animals have to be their own personal space for sleeping, dressing trays, toys. If the puppy gets into the house, where he lives an adult cat, you should entertain him in every way, so that it is less molested whiskered lady. The same applies to the kitten, who settled with the dog. But in both cases it is important to make sure that pets do not have to compete for your attention.

The special period is the time when a cat is born offspring. Right now it is very vulnerable and anxious, so it is better not to bring a new animal into the house. This is due to the fact that the cat protecting their offspring, may cause serious injury to another pet. And if you do decide to settle in a given period in the dog house, try to limit contact between pets. It is best to move the cat with kittens in a quiet and dark place where the dog is not able to enter.

Of course, every house is different: someone's dog and cat sweetly sleeping together and lick each other, someone pretend that the second pet to do, but sometimes it happens and so that mustachioed fellow in general has to move on the mezzanine, to save his own skin. Predict in advance the development of relations between the different animals so nobody can.

Whatever you have a situation, you will be able to make friends and a dog or cat is not, in any case, patience, prudence, be attentive to the pets, give them more affection - and then open war between the feuding families can be avoided.
