I think it depends on the dog. Jackson does not really like my dads cats. Over their house, the 3 dogs stay downstairs and the 2 cats stay upstairs (with a gate). If they hear a cat downstairs or a 'meow' all hell breaks loose and all the dogs go flying chasing and barking at the cats. It's over within 10 seconds but still annoying. All the dogs have been socialized to the cats and one on one they actually like them a lot more.... Jackson will allow the cats to groom him, and they sniff each other nicely when it's just the two of them, but once all dogs are involved, all bets are off. I don't think I could ever enjoy a peaceful household with Jackson and a cat and have no desire to ever try. |
