I think dogs can come to love their cat counterpart. When Sammie was alive, she HATED cats and other small animals. When we brought Allen home, she licked her chops and was ready for a nice big dinner! We did the introductions v-e-r-y slowly and in no time they were best buds! After Sammie died, Allen went into a kitty depression Thankfully we got Pouncer and Allen is happy again.

Nicki doesn't exactly LIKE the cats, but she's never ever shown any aggression towards them and as time goes by, I have seen her try to be affectionate towards Pouncer. Never Allen since he likes to tease her!

I also think Simba cold learn to be nice to the cat since he has gone along with everything else you've done to him - oh, I'm thinking clothes and phtos shoots Also you can do a lot of talking to him. I'm serious!!! When we brought Allen home I had lots of long conversations with Sammy about how important it was for her to love the new cat and be nice to him. I swear she understood every word I said!
