Dogs love serving humans. Cats love human servants!

Cats and dogs are different but both make wonderful companions in different ways. I love them both! And they can get along together!

nimblemoon, Reply-Dogs think: Humans feed me, play with me, protect me, keep me safe and show affection to me. They must be God's. A cat thinks:
humans feed me, house me, and groom me. They give me gifts. I must be their God!"

There is nothing more comforting than a cat on your lap that is purring, it's as if it's engine is running.

Player Ejag, indeed cats and dogs can certainly get along. What are the best experiences I had in life was when I had a lovely dog who was about 2 or 3 years old and into the household came to Little Kittens about 7 weeks old. They took over. The cats that is and actually I train the cats to chase the dog. But at the end of the day and actually throughout the day they would all take a nap together.

Player SQinfoNUTS, In any cat & dog household, cats have to be (and end up) masters, even if the dog is a hunting breed that chases cats (if the owner teaches the dog not to chase his, though)

cats really are not 100% domesticated.
My tom is a great mouser. just watch how they morph from a sweet lovable paddy's tat into a killer once they lock eyed on what they see as prey.

Middle East is in Asia, where else do you think it is?
Goblin
It is curious to ponder that cats actually domesticated themselves!

Most MISUNDERSTOOD and MISTREATED beautiful creatures on the planet.
The HORRIFIC things still being done to them today, by CERTAIN cultures.
AND NO, YOU CAN'T EXCUSE IT BY SAYING; "Oh, it's a cultural thing".

I had a puppy & kitten at the same time...brother & sister?...you betcha...great memories...

Cyprus is Europe. So why is the answer Middle East???

Player Ejag. Very true. When a puppy and kitten are raised together, they get along beautifully.

Egyptians revered and worshiped Cats, that is why my I named my First adopted feline "Cairo". I miss him terribly. He has big paws to fill!!

I serve 4 cats.. 3 orange tabbies and a Grey tuxedo.. they are a constant source of laughter smiles happiness and inner peace..
Player #16702581
My cats used to snuggle and sleep with my labradors and my wild rescued Robin would ride on the dogs back and play with the cats. I now have 3 rescued birds. Dove, sparrow and finch. They all get along with my 2 cats. House rules: Get along.
