How do you get cats to get along with dogs?

Answer 1

Try to introduce them to each other early in age. Or introduce them slowly, dont do everything at once. A good idea would be to let them got used to the other, put the dog's crate near the cat's sleeping area. the cat wont be afraid because it might know that the dog cant get to it because of the crate so the cat would relax and accept that the dog is there. After the two are sued to the other try putting them in the same room together with food, water, toys, and treats. Keep them under supervision so things dont get out of control. Then just go from there.

Answer 2

Well, introduce the cat/dog to it's rival species cautiously at first. Keep the new pet in the bathroom or somewhere where the other can't reach it. Get a cloth with the pet's scent on it and let the other sniff the cloth. After it gets used to the scent you might take the new pet out and hold it so the other pet won't injure it, etc. Do that for a few days and the other pet should be pretty used to it. If you have problems, discipline the naughty pet(s) if they injure each other or whatever until they can get more acquainted with the other.

Answer 3

Depends on the cat and the beagle. We have had kittens and beagle pups that got along great- but we have also had kittens and a 95 lb German Shepherd that got along fine. (Kitten used to sleep on top of dog) Beagles IN GENERAL are good natured dogs, but animals are not machines, vary in temperament, and are capable of independent action.

Answer 4

Dogs and cats can get along. But you have to make sure to follow some very impportant steps.

1) leave your cat in butter to soak overnight.

2) remove cat and dry off. Do not rinse cat

3) prepare the Lacrosse field.

4) after six months of your cat and dog battling it out on the lacrosse field, bring them inside to have a talk.

5) give the dog everything he wants and the cat a small dusty corner.

6) wait until the cat gets jealous and demands more property.

7) give cat to neighbors.

8) cat will be homesick and wish to come home.

9) your cat will return home fine with its dusty corner.

10) give dog a bath so he smells good.

Answer 5

Raise them together, introduce them slowly, and/or reward them with treats every time they are nice to each other and discipline them when they are not. Tip: never picture them fighting when you tell them off-picture them living peacefully together. :)

Answer 6

The best way is to get a cat the same time you get a dog. Even then sometimes they don't get a long but if they live with each other long enough they get used to being around the other. Some cats and dogs just wont get along.

Answer 7

No. It's not impossible for a specific beagle and a specific cat to get along, but it's not terribly likely that a beagle and a cat suddenly introduced to each other will be friendly. Beagles were bred to hunt small game, and while cats don't fit any of the beagle "prey" templates exactly, they're close enough that caution is advisable.

If the beagle is introduced to the cat as a puppy, they're somewhat more likely to "get along", but puppies like to play and the cat may not be too happy about that.

Answer 8

Take both your cat AND dog to the vet together,and she'll be able to let you know how you can train them to like each other or might be ble to do it herself.

Answer 9

You just shout at them and tell them to stop fighting , tell them to get into their bed and soon enough they will be snuggling.
