The cat carries out a role of the nurse.

Secret – in desire to study. Both dogs, and cats easily remember new. If in the childhood they perceive everything only as it is peculiar to their relatives, then in adulthood can already be guided by the gained knowledge of the compelled neighbor.

The dog who has been at least once scratched by the cat who has got up on hinder legs, will forever remember that at cats it is an attack signal. And the cat won't jump aside from the raised dog paw: yes it just the invitation to a game.

But the good, friendly relations of cats and dogs are established far not at once, sometimes on it years leave. The owner who, knowing characters of the favourites, has to influence them at the right time can play a huge role in this formation.

That building relations between Mankaya and Mukhtar was the least painful, it is important to remember such rules:

- Before pushing together a dog and a cat face to face, let's them sniff at some things of the opponent (a lead, a laying, a bowl), or just lead to the room where recently there was "opponent".

- Don't allow a cat to touch a favourite toy of a dog, and him, in turn, don't let to a cat's lodge. All this will be in time for now such actions are apprehended not differently as the attack and impudence. Let everyone will have inviolable territory.

- It is necessary to caress and play with animals at the same time not to provoke jealousy. By the same principle are given yum-yum.

- If the cat or a dog is nervous, growls during food, it is better to feed first separately.

- Don't leave animals alone together. Perhaps once they will be able even to sleep near for now it is fraught with fights, injuries and even death. Let wait for you in different rooms.

Open war
Unfortunately, sometimes our favourite balls and murka in any don't wish to be reconciled. Moreover – they use all possible ways of fight: are scratched, bite, fight, attack stealthily … What to do? To protect temporarily, at least, severe injuries won't be got. In practice it looks so: in a doorway between rooms the grid stretches, and fighters live on different sides. Gradually they will get used to such neighbourhood, and the grid can be removed.

And we have a family! Koto-sobachya …
We will consider several options of cat's-dog families, a lot of things depend on age of animals and their status in the house.

Option first: old resident and puppy (kitten)
Once upon a time there was a cat. The old impressive cat who considered himself the owner in the house slept in a mother's bed and ate from a porcelain bowl. Also IT has suddenly come: dirty-unkempt, with a snotty nose and a shrill voice. From where to undertake love? It's clear that the tomcat all the vibrissa will hate a poor puppy.

What to do: to hope for time and prudence of a puppy. Having matured, he will learn to avoid conflict situations, will cease to gnaw cat's moustaches and to drink from others bowl. Intimate friendship is hardly possible here, but существован
