It has been my life's experience that cats and dogs typically adore each other. On occasion some dogs and some cats may feel threatened by the other, but I have found this to be rare. However, I would say that cats are often more aggressive to dogs than the other way around -- much the same as how cats are aggressive to new cats, and how dogs are usually friendly and curious to other dogs. Cats may be offended by friendly curiosity from dogs, and dogs may be offended by aggressive cats.
Dogs grow to dislike cats primarily due to a misunderstanding. A dog communicates friendliness and peaceful intent by wagging it's tail; Cats wag their tails rapidly when angry or aggressive. A cat will thus perceive a friendly or curious dog approaching it as a large, frightening, angry, and dangerous animal. The cat will thus defend itself by clawing at the dog, usually at the nose when the dog sniffs the cat, and then attempt to escape. Most adult dogs have thus learned to associate cats with painful scratches across the nose.
I also find it most common to find very large dogs get along with cats better than small dogs. Though in true cat form, I'm sure they don't really "get along" with anyone as much as they "tolerate" them -- especially humans.
p.s. from a different person : i find that the dog tries to be friendly and tries to play with them but the cat rejects the dog (that is my findings but many people disagree)

It is quite simple young buck, dogs like to chase anything that moves, cats on the other hand avoid dogs and dislike being chased. I disagree in someways I have met many cats that love dogs. Some of my families cats play hide and seek with them or ride on them. Although some animal are less friendly and may not be a good play couple. Some dogs may not know that cats have very sharp claws or may hurt them. Always remember to introduce animals (dogs and cats any animal at that matter) be for letting them play freely. But if the animals start hurting each other pull them away immediately.
