Like a cat and a dog
In fact, cats and dogs living under the same roof almost never quarrel. And even on the contrary - often become gentle friends, and cunning pussies, usually manage to take leadership positions. Sometimes they even offend the good dogs and encroach on the sacred, that is, the dog bowl. But if you have representatives of "serious" dog breeds, make sure that the purr does not fit their food or toys, otherwise it may not get better. And in any case, do not give the cat an obvious preference: not every dog will suffer, when someone is stroking and treating it before your eyes! In the world of animals, it is of great importance who first settled in the given territory. If the cat appeared in the house before, most dogs will treat her with respect, and the pussy itself will consider it their duty to bring up a new tenant. The first to have a dog? Do not poke it under the nose of a freshly purchased kitten - first demonstrate the baby from afar and for several days do not allow their direct contact.
Hunting instinct
A cat is walking around your house, but you can not imagine your life without a rat, a hamster or a bird? Usually cats do not consider the living creature living in the house as a prey - they clearly see the difference between their "own" mouse and "another's". Still, there is no one hundred percent guarantee for the safety of a small pet - here much will depend on the cat's temperament, which in turn is affected by belonging to a particular breed. So, most Persians and Britons are so lazy, a mouse can literally dance on their head, while many Bengals or Siberians have completely preserved the hunting instinct and are able to sit for hours on the cage, without taking their eyes off the potential prey. But even if the hunters do not manage to get to the victim, frightening her to half-death will come true. So try to breed the animals in different rooms. Take care and that in a cage of the rodent there was a refuge where the animal could hide from an uncomfortable cat's sight. And do not allow mice, rats and birds to walk freely around the apartment in the presence of a predator - do not spoil the cat's nerves, testing her patience. Aquarium with fish provide a reliable cover, so that the cat could not catch your priceless guppies and cichlids. And if piranhas live in the aquarium, the lid will protect the bloody fish from a pussy pussy.
From love to hate
Guinea pigs are ready to get along with anyone. Cats do not usually offend them, and dogs do not pay much attention to them - however, again here everything depends on the canine character. In any case, walking around the apartment pig should not be left alone with a formidable Caucasian - suddenly a pig, this glutton, wants to try dog food? The result of the meal will be deplorable ... Rabbits with dogs usually get along - the ears like it when they run after them, and they are provoked to play with them every now and then. All this is very nice, but if the dog is hunting, then it can be somewhat carried away by the persecution, with all the ensuing consequences. So let them chase each other, but only in the presence of the owners! As for rabbit relationships with cats, male rabbits often show genuine sexual interest in pussy, for which they can easily get on their faces. But there is a rabbit and an irreconcilable enemy! This ... also a rabbit, two males, most likely, will be at enmity among themselves, arranging bloody battles. And the hamsters can not get along together. These lovely creatures categorically do not tolerate a society of their kind.
Do not like each other and chinchillas: if you put them in one cage, then conflicts can not be avoided! However, if you introduce the animals gradually, firstly placing their cells nearby, then in time they can get used to each other. In other domestic animals, the chinchilla beauty does not pay any attention - they are so busy with themselves and combing their valuable fur that they do not care about the rest of the world. But the ferrets do not say this: the second so restless and sociable pet will still have to look! With other ferrets they are friends - in fact for them the more the company, the more fun! These animals with pleasure play with both cats and dogs. But birds and mice can bring a quick predator to "bad" thoughts. So it's better to keep all small animals alive away from it.
The dog is biting ...
It turns out that the most aggressive dogs are not pitbulls and rottweilers, as is commonly believed, but ... taxes. This conclusion was reached by scientists from the University of Pennsylvania, having studied the behavior of representatives of 33 canine breeds. These short-legged gambling hunters often rush to passers-by and other animals. The second place was taken by the chihuahua crumbs, which also regularly bark and try to bite strangers. However, if peace and love reign in the house, the likelihood that your dog will show aggression is much lower. The same applies to other pets.
