In spite of the adage, “fighting like cats and dogs”, these two species can often live in harmony. Individual beds give them a place of their own but don’t be surprised if they switch beds or end up sharing one. Cats sleep a lot so a window perch can help kitty find peace from a dog that wants to play when it’s naptime. You need basic obedience training to keep your dog calm and under control should they decide chasing the cat would be fun. Pet gates keep them separated as needed. Choose a litter box with a dog-proof lid. This gives your cat privacy and keeps your dog from snacking on the box contents. Both pets should be fed in separate areas and remember for optimal health, their food is not interchangeable. Most importantly, love them both and have fun.
