i have an english pointer, she loves the cats and likes to play games with them, i swear she thinks she's the same size as them, unfortionately she isn't, she's big, lanky and ungainly and the cats don't really like playing with her, pandy used to play with her when she was a pup but now she's bigger pandy won't have any of it


mostly she just chases pandy around the house, pandy swats her on the nose sometimes but they do get along okay, as long as anassa stays out of pandy's personal space...bonnies a different story altogether, if nass gets too close bonnie either gets an expression like she's smelled something bad or she glares, sometimes nass pushes the bounderies but not often, the knows what will happen if she does.

i actually feel a little sorry for nass, she just wants to be part of the pack but the cats won't let her in

I have a Doberman called Bracken

The cats are both fine with her - Lulu always stands up to her and claws her is Bracken pushes her and Bracken just gets scared and walks away, Jess is scared of her most of the time but will claw her sometimes if Bracken is annoying her

I had two Alaskan Malamutes (Sitka had to be put down a couple of months ago because she could no longer stand up) Kaitu does well around four out of five masters. Tigger HATES dogs. We have no idea why. 4 out of 5 cats seem to not notice our Cockateil Sunshine. They know that eating family is frowned upon. Charlie (the three legged stray we rescued via "Angels with Paws" cat rescue seems to spend a lot of time "watching" Sunshine.

I have two Maltese, Roxy who is 6 and a half years old and Gracie who is about 18 years old. Then we have Liberty who is two years old, we've have her since she was 3 days old (we rescued momma and her five pups) she is a cross of Chihuhua and Shih Tzu(?, she's very cute but big question mark about breed). Then are newest doggie a German Shepherd/Gold Ret. Mix, she is about 3 1/2 months and towers over the other dogs and kitties. Roxy is great with kitties and even cleans our baby foster kitties, she's great with them and protects them from other doggies. Gracie is so old and doesn't even bother with the cats. Liberty treats them like dogs and they wrestle all the time, Luna, my 9 month old kitty loves it but Tobi, my 3 year old can't stand it. Lacy, my puppy is a little rough with the kitty's but is learning. She likes to bark at them. Well, those are my doggies and kitties

We had a Cardigan Corgi(Clint,14 yrs old), until last year (lost to severe arthritis) whom the cats ADORED. We got a 1 1/2 yr old female Boxer(Mattie) late this March, and needless to say, we are having an adjustment period.
The good news is, Meggie, who adored Clint more than us, has finally decided to try to love on Mattie this week! I won't say it is going smoothly (Meggie wants groomed and fleaed, Mattie wants to PLAY!), but at least she isn't on top of the file cabinet anymore!

I have a Wolf/ German Shepherd mix (Ginger) at my house with my 4 kitties and my rabbit- she's a big sweetheart....She especially loves Abilene, they always sleep together. My boyfriend and I have a Collie/ Australian Shepherd mix ( Fosters) at his house that i bring over to my duplex on occassion- he's very sweet around them too...he especially loves my siamese Jasmine- who happens to be Colin's favorite too lol....i guess he's just like his "daddy". Both dogs are very sweet around my cats.

I have a HUGE golden retriever, Melvin (5 yo), a 3 yo black lab/rott/chow mix (Chumper...she's a girl, though), and a 16 yo chow/boxer mix (Ginger). They do great with the cats...Chumper will get a bit territorial (it's the rott/chow in her), and a bit too rambunctious with Steuben, my 11 week old kitten. He'll usually just swat her in the face, and run away. She's really starting to back off. I went through this shortly after I got married when I joined Fergus and Ripley with the 3 dogs, which are my husband's. Chumper LOVED to bark and chase them, so they of course, hate her passionately. Fergus, Ripley, and Steuben get along well with Melvin and Ginger...in fact, old Ginger-girl has been a great surrogate mommy to little Steuben...he sleeps in her arms almost every day.

We have Jake...He is a Vizsla/Lab Mix... more Vizsla then anything.
We've only had him about a month but he seems to be getting along with the furballs... Tiger tries to put up a front like he hates Jake, but we know better
We have caught them licking each other. Tiger will jump up and hiss at Jake like "you're NEVER supposed to let the human know we get along!"

Reilly could care less about Jake. She does her own thing. She tolerates him but also lets him know she wont be chased around!

I have a 9 year old Lhasa Apso/Terrier she didn't like the first kitten I brought home [who ended up passing away] she would ignore him, but when I brought Napolean home at 12 weeks she played with him and they would fight all the time playfully.

I then got a 13 week old puppy in October last year, and her and the cat got on smashingly. She's a mutt, mom was border collie/cocker spaniel, dad was rottweiler/shepherd/wolf. They love to play and chew on each other, and sometimes at night Napolean will groom her :p

I have a rat terrier named Lilly but I had a pit lab mix with Tavia. And I live with my dad and he has a rat terrier and my sister's dog is staying with us and she is a boxer. And I have come to find out that boxers are awesome dogs. My rat terrier is good with my cat. But I am careful to raise dogs with my cat so that they see her as the alpha.

Ahhh you can't beat a basset I raised them for years, there not all lazy, zoie's pretty active but i think because she's not a real tubby. I wanted for her to have a litter but we only tried once and the male was just to weighty for her, so I had her spayed. Here is one of Dexter who we lost at 7 about 2 1/2 years now, he was his Daddy's boy we were and still are heartbroken, they have such wonderful personality's






One of Zoie when she was a baby
