Can cats and dogs live together without constantly being at war?可猫，狗一起生活在不断地在战争吗？ It seems that they very often can.看来，他们往往可以。

We often hear people claim to be a "cat person" or a "dog person", but browsing through the various pet forums it appears that there are many of us that equally like both cats and dogs.我们常常听到人们自称是“猫人”或“狗人” ，但浏览器通过各种宠物论坛，似乎有许多的我们，同样都像猫，狗。

My son has a beautiful Border Collie who was the only pet of the house until she was five years old.我的儿子有一个美丽的边境牧羊犬谁是只宠物的房子，直到她5岁。 Then three part Burmese kittens were brought into the family.然后三个部分缅甸猫带进家庭。 Mollie the Collie and the kittens were introduced to each other slowly, and Mollie was taught that the kittens were not to be harassed. Mollie的牧羊犬和小猫了对方慢， Mollie教授说，猫没有受到骚扰。 Naturally she was given extra doses of attention and affection, just to show her that the kittens were an addition to the family, and not a replacement for her.当然，她获得额外剂量的关注和感情，只是为了显示她说，猫是一个除了家庭，而不是代替她。

As the kittens grew they soon learned to dominate the dog, after all they are felines and a canine must know its place, besides there are three of them.随着猫长大，他们很快就懂得占主导地位的狗，毕竟他们是猫和犬必须知道自己的位置，除了有3人。 Often when Mollie is snoozing, or just reclining chilling out, one of the cats will just walk right over her, forgoing the niceties of walking around the dog. Mollie时，往往是想睡，或者只是躺在冷了，一个猫会走她的权利，放弃对细节的走动的狗。 Mollie gives the impression that this behavior does not bother her, but sometimes a little sigh of exasperation is heard. Mollie给人的印象是，这个问题不打扰她，但有时有点无奈地叹息的是听到。 Rarely do the cats take any interest in what is in the dog bowl, Mollie on the other hand, will quite often take a sniff of the cats lunch, and if one of the cats is close by it will give a warning hiss.很少的猫采取任何兴趣，什么是狗碗， Mollie另一方面，往往会采取嗅出的猫科动物的午餐，如果其中一个猫是密切的，将给予警告嘶嘶声。

I don't think that it can be said that the cats and Mollie are great friends, they never appear to play together.我不认为可以说，猫和巨大Mollie是朋友，他们从来没有出现一起游戏。 They live together in a state of tolerance, rather than friendship, but the relationship works OK, my son's house is free of cat and dog fights.他们共同生活在一个国家的宽容，而不是友谊，而是工程的关系确定，我儿子的房子是免费的猫，狗打架。

But from reading the posts on the pet forums, many people report that their cat and dog are the best of buddies.但是，从阅读的职位上的宠物论坛上，许多人报告说，他们的猫，狗是最好的朋友。

A lady writes that her Boxer and tabby curl up together on the sofa.一位女士写道，她的Boxer和猫一起蜷缩在沙发上。 Another post from an elderly gentleman reports that his Persian often hitches a ride on the back of his Labrador cross.另一个后从老先生的报告，他常常故障波斯乘坐的背面他的拉布拉多交叉。 There are many posts about cats and dogs being taken for walks together, stories of felines and canines being absolutely inseparable, even accounts of dogs pining for cats that have passed away.有许多职位对猫，狗正在采取散步在一起，故事的猫和犬被绝对分不开的，即使账户的狗猫想念已经去世了。

All this does not imply that any old cat and dog can be thrown together and get on like a house on fire.所有这并不意味着任何旧猫，狗可以扔在一起，让像房子着火。 Some dog breeds are unlikely to put up with sharing their home with a cat.有些犬种不太可能忍受分享他们的家猫。 Hounds and hunting dogs, for example may not be a wise choice.猎犬和狩猎犬，例如可能不是一个明智的选择。 Also not all breeds of cat are sociable enough to live with another species of animal.也并不是所有品种的猫有足够的社交生活与其他物种的动物。

When introducing cats and dogs to each other do it slowly and make sure that you are in control.当介绍猫狗对方做到这一点缓慢，一定要受到控制。 Never leave your pets without supervision while they are learning to get along with each other.永远不会离开你的宠物没有监督的同时，他们正在学习相处。 Feeding your cat and dog in separate places, and at separate times is probably best until they are used to one another.饲喂您的猫，狗在不同的地方，在不同的时间也许是最好的，直到它们被用来彼此。

Remember that two or more dogs are likely to have a pack instinct, and could see a new kitten as prey.请记住，两个或两个以上的狗有可能一包的本能，可以看到一个新的小猫作为猎物。 If yours is a multi-dog household and you are adding a cat to your pet family, make the introduction one dog at a time.如果您是一个多狗家庭和你是一只猫加入到你的宠物的家庭，使引进一只狗的时间。 Remember also that it is not only dogs that can hurt cats, frightened cats can inflict nasty scratches to inquisitive puppies and dogs, and a scratch on the puppy's eyes could be serious.还记得，它不仅是狗，可以伤害猫，害怕猫可以造成讨厌的划痕，以好奇的小狗和狗，和一个白手起家的小狗的眼睛可能是严重的。

So can cats and dogs live together as friends?因此，可以猫，狗一起生活的朋友吗？ Yes, they can, it may take patience and perseverance on your part, but the result will be worth it是的，他们可以，可能需要耐心和毅力的一部分，但结果将是值得的
