Can You Keep Cats and Dogs Together - By: venturiwang

In last article, we have talked about the question how to handle the relationship between

the new dogs and the old dogs; I expect it have given you a certain degree of help. In

the meantime, if you have read the last article carefully, you may remember another

question we referred, that is many people not only loved to keep dogs, but also love to

keep cats at home. Therefore, I¡¯d like to talk about if you can keep cats and dogs

together.
Dogs and cats are two kinds of companion animals that generally kept, they have many

similarities, but there are also many different places. The brain well-developed, limbs

flexible, able to follow simple commands of the control, value feelings, love family,

love clean, strong vigilance, can accompany the owner to spend time. Judging from that,

they are really good human companions. However, according to experts studies, Dogs and

cats cannot keep together, mainly in the following several reasons.
From the nutritional point of view, dogs are omnivorous animals, nutrition levels are

lower, while the cat is a typical carnivorous animal, and nutrition levels are relative

higher, so they cannot be fed with the same diet. With dog food feeding cat, cats would

not be enough to maintain normal nutritional needs; On the other hand, with the cat food

feeding the dog, the dog would be fat as a result of energy excess, it¡¯s not conducive

to health. So, cats and dogs should be fed separately, and be fed according to the

different levels of diet.
(2) From the linguistic point of view, cats and dogs have communicable difficulties, for

example, a dog's tail swings often suggest he is happy to close to others, while the

cat's tail violently beat suggest angry , meaning I do not close anyone. Therefore,

although the similarities between the two movements, but the meaning conveyed is quite

different. When the dog see the cat swinging tail, think that you may like to make

friends, but the result of approaching will only be attacked by the cat's claw, or teeth

intimidation.
(3) From the living habits of view, the dog's daily routine is basically following human,

that is, working during the day and sleeping at night, while the cat remained nocturnal

activity habits. Due to the different patterns of life, letting them live together in

harmony is not an easy task.
If you keep both cats and dogs at home, the best approach of making them living in

harmony is, cats and dogs live together from an early age, and taking some necessary

teaching, but putting adult cats and adult dogs together is still full of trouble. You¡¯d

better not do this attempt.
