Even after months of being together, the dog (who was usually very sweet) would chase around my cats. She would scare even my most laid back and calm cat, which alarmed me. I eventually just had to keep my cats in my room if I wasn't in the rest of the house to make sure they didn't get harmed in any way.<br /><br />I do think that, if done properly, with a younger dog, my cats would be okay. I know that cats and dogs CAN co-exist, and it's nice when they can. :)Fur Everywherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064329146430899790noreply@blogger.com
