How a Cat and a White Shepherd Became Best Friends
Dogs are extremely social animals. They have joined the human community, where they perform many functions. They are not only companions, but also hunters, shepherds, watchmen, rescuers, guides, and even some diseases are diagnosed by smell.
Cats, originally solitary animals, initially proved to be useful to humans as rodent exterminators, but in general their reproduction and movement were much less controlled, and therefore domestication affected them less than dogs. Some experts believe cats are "under-domesticated." However, they have adapted to close proximity to humans and now more often play the role of companions, rather than hunters.

How a White Shepherd and a Cat Became Best Friends
"The greatness of a nation and the degree of its spiritual development are determined by the way that nation treats animals" Mahatma Gandhi.
In all EU countries, the rights of cats and dogs are protected by the 1987 Convention for the Protection of Animals from Cruelty. In Europe, testing of cosmetics on animals is completely banned, and it is also prohibited: cupping tail, ears, claw removal. In some countries, you cannot leave a dog locked in a car on a sunny day - the interior heats up quickly and the dog may suffer from heat stroke. A police officer who sees this must break the glass and may fine the owner of the dog. There are no stray dogs in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland. In these countries, there is a traditionally high level of control (registration, licensing), extensive legislation, as well as social responsibility of the population. The neutering program in these countries is applied to populations of street cats.

Cat or dog? Which one is man's best friend? Let's talk like ... a cat with a cat.

Why do we love cats?
The shortest answer is that she is a cat.
A cat loves to eat the same as a person, and will eat at any time of the day or night, if only she wants to. Moreover, you will not fight for the distribution of food - as usual, the cat will leave you most of the sausages and all the sweets.
The cat will never forget about your weight. When you feel a little out of shape and eloquently look at your hips and belly, she impatiently looks at you from the side and winks and leads you to the refrigerator. Well, there ...

If a puppy or dog appears in a house where there are already animals, it is important to consider the needs of all pets in order to create the most favorable conditions for their coexistence.
Dogs tend to follow a strict hierarchy in their relationships with each other. In this regard, when a new pet appears, all animals must determine their place in the hierarchy for peaceful coexistence in the future. When introducing a dog to other pets in the home, it is important to consider the needs of all animals. This will allow you to maintain a calm atmosphere in the house and create the most favorable conditions for their coexistence.

DOG PLAYS WITH KITTEN
Experience shows that a cat and a dog can not only get along well in a common area, but also tenderly love each other. This almost always happens when they grow up together. But there are also cases when an animal of a more mature age welcomes a new family member. It is more difficult for cats, as contemplators, to adapt to the appearance of an eternally annoying puppy than to the open-world dogs to accept an unknown fluffy creature. But with the patient participation of the owner in smoothing out the sharp corners in the relationship, a cat or a dog finds all the new advantages of their now non-lonely animal existence and relaxes.

White Shepherd Playing With Cat
Everybody knows the meaning of the phrase “They live like a cat and a dog” - they live badly, bark, bite, scratch, in a word - they scandal. At the same time, for some reason, it is believed that the dog is stronger than the cat and in their confrontation the cat has no chance of winning. Is not it? Here is what the great English writer Jerome K. Jerome wrote about this:
“We ... were returning from our swim, and halfway down the High Street, a cat jumped out of the gate and was about to cross our path. Montmorency let out a cry of joy — the cry that an old warrior utters when an enemy falls into his hands; a cry, which Cromwell must have uttered when the Scots began to descend the hill, and rushed after the prey.

Awesome Friendship Between Cat And Dog
How do you feel when you see a cat or a dog on the street? About 50 million stray animals live in Russia. In the USSR, they were massively destroyed, and it seemed that they did not exist. Now in some big cities they are caught, sterilized and sent to a shelter or returned to their habitat. But somewhere there are no such programs, and the animals simply stray into flocks and exist as best they can. However, homeless or sheltered animals are no worse than bred ones and also deserve love and attention!
Here are some stories of people who did a good deed and took care of cats or dogs from the street or from a shelter.

My Cat Setled In A New Home
The cat was domesticated about 9.5 centuries ago in the Middle East. In ancient Egypt, the cat was identified with Bastet - the goddess of the sun and moonlight. In the Middle Ages, cats were less fortunate. They were recognized as accomplices of Satan and performed terrible and cruel rites on them. However, all this mysticism and horror is in the past, and now the cat is the most famous pet. The playful disposition, grace of movement inherent in all felines, undeniable beauty and highly developed intelligence make the cat an ideal companion for humans.

Kitty Playing With White Shepherd
People are drawn to animals. Some will have a dog, some will have a cat, and in other countries there are even more cat owners than dog owners. And some keep both a dog and a cat. Many would like to follow their example, but hesitate for fear that the animals will not get along with each other. There is indeed cause for concern. Although many cases of peaceful coexistence of pets are known, the expression "like a cat and a dog" was not invented for nothing.

White Shepherd Playing With Kitty
Cats and dogs have both similarities and differences. What are they and how do they affect relationships?
Both the cat and the dog are predators with a hunting instinct (the degree of its severity varies both between breeds and within one breed). But cats and dogs hunt in different ways: if dogs drive the prey in a flock, then the cat makes a jump from an ambush.
Both the dog and the cat defend their territory from outsiders.
