Usually if your dog or cat is not used to smaller animals such as Birds and rabbits than it will not like hamsters. It just means your dog has high preditor drive which means they do not like smaller animals and see them as something to attack or harm.

It seems strange to think that a cat that hunts rats would be afraid of a similar rodent, but hamsters have ATTITUDE.

some cats have wild instincts and have a need to kill small rodents like mice, maybe even- they just want to play with the mouse but they arent gentle
