can't we all just get along?

i can't wait for the day that my animals will co-exist. this is becoming so frustrating for me. i guess it's the age old cat vs. dog thing...but MAN who knew it'd be this hard for them to get over??? i certainly had no idea. i figured...hey! they're animals...they'll get over it and learn to like each other. they'll have to. HAHAHAHA! was i ever wrong! my cats are SO spoiled and used to it being only them...they won't let him near them to save their lives!!! so far they've broken a vase, scratched up my brand new nightstand, tore the blinds up...all in an attempt to get away from this nosey, friendly, curious dog. they have NO idea that he's not about to eat them! the only harm he would ever possibly do would be to maybe lick them or sniff them to death!!! LOL so, for now they're on the grave shift...the cats, that is. they stay in the bedroom...their 'safe place' during the day while Loki runs the house. then, at night while he's soundly sleeping in his crate they come out and run the house. i guess it's working for now...but i don't want them to live their life as 'the bedroom cats'!! i want them to come out and feel that they can run feely...they were here first after all. do you think it's likely they'll EVER be ok with poor nosey Loki? i have my doubts.

this is what i live with people!!!!!!!

Good luck! My cat lived with my dh's dog for several years and she never warmed up to the idea of being in the same room as him.

That must be hard to keep the cats in. My kids would be opening the door all day long. Poor Loki, he just wants a sniff!

My dogs have finally learned to leave our cat alone. She now rules the roost. Hopefully things will calm down between them.

Ah yes I remember that fondly. We left our cat with the inlaws once. They had a yellow lab puppy. My cat tried to eat him. Now the "puppy" is all grown up but he's still scared of our cat.
