Effective Ways to Break Up a Cat-Dog Fight: Quick Tips!
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." When deciding to raise both a cat and a dog together, it's essential to understand their temperaments and behaviors. The feline, or "meow star," is famously pampered and proud, always ready to pout and play cute. The canine, or "wang star," is more likely to cling to its owner and isn't very expressive. So, here are some tips for all you pet parents out there.
Raising Multiple Cats
Feeding time can often be the source of disputes among them. First and foremost, ensure that these little princesses are wellfed, as hunger is no time for play. Next, consider their toys. Cats are never idle with their paws, always curious about the world around them, even a small paper ball is not safe from their attention. Therefore, when buying toys, remember to get one for each cat; don't expect them to share.
The Personality of Cats Matters
Some cats may be difficult to please, not only hoarding their food but also bullying other cats. In such cases, pet parents should try to keep the kittens close to their mother for at least three months. A wellloved child will learn to care for others.
Raising Multiple Dogs
Dogs are also busy at feeding time, often snatching food from others. Remember the Shiba Inu that made headlines? In the first few months, if the dogs are not yet familiar with each other, avoid feeding them together in the same place. Instead, try to feed them in different locations to prevent any conflicts, as they will be brothers for life.
If you have a male and a female dog, you might have to deal with a daily dose of "puppy love," as the dogs will also show their affection.
Raising Cats and Dogs Together
Even different species can have conflicts, so imagine the challenges of raising two different types of pets together. However, with some tricks up your sleeve, peaceful coexistence is possible. When choosing cats and dogs, opt for younger ones, as adult cats and dogs can be quite suspicious and cautious. If raised together from a young age, they are more likely to become close companions.
Remember not to leave them alone when they are still getting to know each other. Some dogs may look imposing, but they can still be defeated by a cat's "meow punch," and injuries can occur.
If there is any foodstealing or bullying behavior, pet parents must intervene promptly. Both cats and dogs are children who don't understand rules. If a dog constantly chases a cat without any intervention from you, the owner, the dog may interpret this as your tacit approval of the behavior.
If your cats and dogs can live harmoniously without training, you are indeed lucky. It means your little ones have great personalities. Sometimes, fights between cats and dogs are not because they are misbehaving; sometimes, it's just that pet parents like us can't help but envy those who have both cats and dogs!
