My parents have always had both dogs and cats. Usually, the cats and dogs did not get along. Their current dog Kaya did not get along with the previous cat at all. So when they got Freddie Pip we all suspected they would not get along either.
They do however!
This is probably mainly because Freddie Pip is not scared of Kaya at all and does not run away from her. Dogs tend to enjoy chasing cats that run away from them and cats tend to hiss or swipe at dogs.
These two quite like each other though. They’ll sniff each other when one of them comes inside. When Freddie Pip is in the dog bed, the Kaya sits outside her bed and looks sheepish. But when Kaya is in the dog bed first, Freddie Pip just joins her 🙂
