123 Times Owners Wanted Cats And Dogs To Live Together, But It Didn’t Work Out As Planned
You’ve probably heard the phrase fighting like cats and dogs, right? While there’s certainly some truth in the stereotype of cats and dogs hating on each other (they do having naturally conflicting temperaments, dogs are more social and playful while cats prefer their independence), with a little bit of luck and some very careful introductions the two can and do live together in relative harmony. Because who says you have to choose between being a ‘cat person’ and a ‘dog person’ when you can have the best of both? Even so, when cats and canines do become roomies there’s always going to be some drama.
Bored Panda has compiled a list of photos of those times when our furry friends just did not get along, natural instincts took over and they fought like, well, cats and dogs. Which one is your favourite? Do you have both cats and dogs together as pets? Let us know in the comments below!

Looks like they're playing. I had a dog and a cat that were best friends and they did this all the time. Sometimes the dog would put the cat's whole head in his mouth.

All The Boxes In This House Are Mine
I hate to admit that cats can be downright bullies, but we had one once. For some reason she was after our oldest all the time. If he found a nice place to sit she insisted that she should sit there. Finally after some years he decided that enough was enough. He was twice as big as her, and simply placed a paw on her back, so that she couldn't move. After a couple of minutes he went away and was never bullied again.

Two of our cats wait till I give the dog food to go steal his. He's a big Saint Bernard. He'll just sit there and wait till there's an opening then join them.

That is NOT how you introduce animals, unless you WANT violence. You need to keep one behind a door for awhile, so they get used to their smells.

Linda Gulley You should really calm yourself, and reconsider your words. There has always been a fight between dog lovers and cat lovers and you are making it worse. There are people who love both dogs and cats and should not need to hear someone insulting anyone of these animals.
Guess what, lINdA GuLLey, most of these images are cats torturing dogs. There are fewer ones of dogs torturing cats. You should think about stuff, and stop making a big deal and calling people who disagree with you, “IdIOtS.” I agree with Justin Seagull-be calm and reconsider your words. Dogs are descended from wolves, mighty, fast, keystone species , so beautiful. (also my favorite animal) cats descend from tigers and stuff, agile, dominant, keystone species -you get the idea. Both animals are equally great and there is no need to be sO fUSSy about it
Linda Gulley~~~ that was f*****g rude! It's just a dam picture of something that probably only happened for a few split seconds. Get a sense of humor!!

There are good ways to introduce cats and dogs to each other. We did it successfully with our Border Collie and two tabby cats. The cats ruled the roost, but there was never any nastiness.
It takes some time for cats and dogs to read each other, because their languages are so different. When a dog wants to play, it does exactly what an angry cat would do to chase away another cat, when the dogs tail is waggling the cat sees the signs of an angry cat, and if the cat goes forward to meet the dog nose to nose, most dogs feel, that the cat is not behaving properly, and that it should have gone round to sniff the backside of the dog.
When I had cats and dogs, the big male cat ruled the roost. If thing went his was all was good. If the dog were out of line The cat would sit up on his hind hunches a slap the living daylights out of who ever was in error! the rest of the time al was well! This went on for 15 years!
Man I got lucky with my dog and cat. We got our dog when I was like 5, I think she was a year old. Then my mom's cat got pregnant and we kept one and they were inseparable. No fights, no hate just love. I mean really good buddies, like brother and sister. I love my furbabies (I have 4 cats) but I miss the original gang. They've both been gone now over a decade.
