Tips on how to Introduce Cats to Dogs and Dogs to Cats

Cats and dogs are very bad enemies .In their natural habitat, they can not live together. Perpetual enmity exist between the two though they are both friends of man. There fore if you own a cat and dog at home and you would like them to share something at home, may be it could be sharing the same eating bowl or house or their friends attention or just to get rid of the hostility that exists between them ,you will have to train them to make them know that they will have to live in the same house and under the same master.

To get this ,you will have to always seat with the two together and do the same things together until when they will be able to know that the other one is no longer an enemy but a friend. Every time that you get a chance to be at home, you unchain your dog and make her to seat with the cat at the same place and then you stop the fights between them and then keep watch on them so that they don't attack each other. Every time she rises to attack the cat you command her to stop her. Continue with this always until when there will be no more enmity between them. It is only this way that they can be brought close to each other ,otherwise it is always a war .

This also is only possible with some types of dogs otherwise it is very hard to make such a relation between this two enemies. Other cats and dogs are born with this enmity permanent in them and therefore changing this can not be possible.

The reasons why some of this animals can not change their behaviors towards the others is not known. Perhaps the scientist could provide us with an answer but we can not know whether it is because of the genetics or whether there are any other biological reasons that makes them enemies of that kind. Theirs is involuntary. They attack each other without knowing just the way we breath without sometimes knowing.

The main secret behind building such a relation is actually just to make them to get used to each other and make them to know much about the other and to enable them to know that they can live together in the same house and even perhaps share the same eating bowl, otherwise there is a chance that here God created enemies as a sign of his expertise in the job just like the other wonders that we do witness in our everyday lives because the enmity is involuntary.
