Who else has cats and dogs? My oldest american dexter LOVES the cats, and vice versa, he just stands there wagging his tail and they snuggle up to him! the pup american is the same! the other two well my oldest girl takes no notice, my poodle will chase given half the chance - so i dont give him half a chance!!! Betty as taught him well she stands her ground and belts him one and hes been taught a stop commant to stop him if he does go to chase.
On another note - do cats have a 'pack order' like dogs - my dogs very definately do, but im not so clued up on cats, i love them to bits but its dogs that i know ( its my job as well ) so i just tend to let the cats get on with it - oscar loves everyone, he cuddles up with all the cats no exception - betty is a madam she goes around belting them if they annoy her.......but she will cuddle up with her own kittens ( who are now a year old) and also the new kittens who arnt hers....... brian cuddles up with the older kittens and oscar but no one else..........
