Just like Oil and Water.

While dogs are seen as mans best friend, cats are viewed as the animals that are focused upon World Domination.

According to Me:
Dogs have always been seen to be compassionate, understanding, loveable, relaxed, and of course playful.

...Cats... a whole-nother story. Cats are evil little terrorists who always want to get in your way and try and trip you, and they scratch and bite, and hiss, and spit, and claw, and they get these evil little faces when you piss them off. Not only that they don't like it when you pull their tails and they turn around and try attaching you if you try it.

Growing up I always had a dog, and of course we always had the herd of farm cats. My dogs, not always perfectly trained, at least listend 1/2 the time... but those cats. ugh. The instant you walk out that door with some kind of food in your hand you would be absolutely swarmed with cats. Some jumping on you, some clawing at your legs, and others just plain old freaking out at the smell of food.

No. We did not starve our farm cats. We just liked keeping the rat and mouse population down on the farm. And that is the ONLY thing those cats were good for. I hated the cats. I hated feeding them. I hated them clawing me. I hated everything about them. I could spend hours upon hours with my dog, but I couldn't stand the cats.

Today. My dad only has 1 of the original Farm Cats left... Panda. I'll admit. I have a soft spot for Panda. She's one of those cats where you can grab her by the tail, and she just sits there. You can pinch her ears and she'll just flick them. She's never tried to bite, scratch, or attach me her entire life. When my dog Shotzie had her first litter of puppies in 2008 I learned just how mellow Panda was...

This cat is so mellow she lets the puppies crawl around her. She has never hurt a fly, (maybe a mouse or two... thousand), but nothing else. I always imagined the cats to hate the dogs, because thats how ALL of the other cats acted. Shotzie got near, the cat was out of there, or hissing, or trying to attack her. Dang cats. But, Panda showed me just how nice cats can actually be.

I'll admitt. As of today, I am starting to warm up to cats. There's a cat that lives in an apartment upstairs from us named Sparks. He's a nice cat, and he's really friendly. School used to have a cat that we named Super Kitty, I had a soft spot about her too.

So. As of today. I believe cats and dogs really CAN get along.

It just depends on them to fix their problems. Not you.
