    I'm split. I picked attacking the monitor for Dakota but Neiko likes cats.

     Define 'like'. Wink My dogs like the cats a little too much!

    It never ceases to amaze me how hot and cold Conrad blows on cats in the inside vs. outside contexts. And it's not just our inside cats--we've taken him to other people's houses and he's curious but not aggressive towards their inside cats. But when he sees a cat outside, he immediately gets the "roasted turkey leg" look in his eye and just wants to kill kill kill. It's like to him, they're two entirely different species.

    My dogs like cats,  lightly breaded with some hollandaise sauce.

    No seriously they think that any moving cat deserves to experience the joy of being herded by a sheepdog.

    I swear that Honor thinks of all small animals as puppies who deserve her presence right at that particular moment.  One of her biggest dreams is to have my mom's cats play with her, but they're not big fans of the proverbial olive branch.

    Yes, my cairn likes cats and is friendly IF they are already dog-friendly.  If the cat runs, well he wants to chase it.

    Well, if the cat isn't doing much, or is walking, my dogs don't care much about it. However, if that cat gets afraid then the dogs will chase it. Zel basically ignores cats no matter what though, our smallest cat is bigger than him. :P

     We have four cats, so its interesting to see how the various cats react around the dogs. If both the cat and the dog are already outside/inside then there usually tends to be apathy. But if we are letting the dogs and cats going different ways through a door, thats the main time a cat will run. Lilly, a cat which was literally born in a barn, runs 100% of the time. On the inverse, Gray Kitty is very lazy, and very not afraid of dogs, she has never been chased. The other two, it depends on their moods I guess.

     Also, this topic got me thinking, all of the Cats my family owns are female and all of our dogs are male. Never noticed that before.

    Yes, my dog likes cats. When he was little, he was growing up with a tomcat and a JRT.

    Take a look at my sig.

    Maska (especially), and Fergie like cats.  Sioux was fine with her own cats, but would chase them outdoors (never caught any).  Sequoyah regards them as lunch meat, and I consider it a good thing that she was taught "leave it" very early in life.

    My dogs all like my cats, not sure if they would like anyone elses.  But they don't hesitate to chase her around when she decides tp take to a run.  But that is only in play - they sleep and play with the cats like they are dogs.

    I think Veronica would like to like cats...unfortunately they do not seem to care for her.

    When she was a puppy, our neighbors cat atacked her. Thank God she wasn't hurt, I was walking her on leash, she was 10 weeks old. I never in my wildest dreams thought a cat would attack a dog.

    This past summer, she tried to say "Hello" to one of the kitties that lives at her friend's house. We walk past everyday and the woman will come out and chat with Veronica if she sees us. So this time, the cat was behind a fence...let Veronica get up real close...Veronica stuck her face out to sniff and say "Hi". The cat reached through the fence and smacked her across the face.

    I'm not sure how many more of these experiences she can have before she develops a prejudice...

     Maggie likes chasing cats, but so far whenever she "catches" one, she just pokes it with her nose and/or smacks it with a paw. If they hiss or growl at her, she will nip them.  Ziva also would like to chase, but she has never gotten a chance to and I don't know how she'd do with a cat since we don't have any.
