I have LilGirl dog and Luke cat living in same house. Annie is an outside dog. Overall the situation is ok ... but I have to make sure of the following:

1. Put Luke's cat food in a chair (he sits on stool to eat) and make sure no cat food is left out or dog will eat it. I wait when I feed both dog and cat. I KNOW dog will eat cat food, not sure if cat will eat dog food. Both of them have a water bowl which works out ok.

2. Keep tabs on Luke cat or he will "stalk" LilGirl dog and corner her. He doesnt hurt her but he scares her. He loves to hide behind a door or chair and jump out at LilGirl dog when she walks by. Luke can't help it; he is a CAT. When I see him doing this, I warn LilGirl and I think she knows when I say "Luke is waiting for you" and I get up and block him. oh yes, we have fun LOL.

3. Then sometimes LilGirl is very brave and barks in cat's face especially when cat wants to jump on couch where LilGirl dog is. She can act very ferocious but then again very wimpy. It varies.

4. For litter box I put litter box inside a big deep cardboard box which is a good idea whether you have a dog and cat or not. When cat scratches the litter, the cardboard box catches any litter he knocks out. Also being high, dog does not bother it.

Once in awhile, I'll find the two of them lying close together on couch. I had visions of them being best buds but I dont think that will ever happen. I've had LilGirl for 3 years and Luke cat for 10. When LilGirl was a puppy she wanted to be near Luke cat and on a few occasions she slept on top of him and he let her. I wish they were cozy with each other but dont think it's going to happen.

Good Luck. 7:02pm
