D'you think that cats and dogs rivalry is never ending story?
It always reminds of the Jews and Israelites.As if we are talking to a wall if we will try to debate about it.  |

i know of dogs and cats who get along. as a matter of fact, my Jack Russel gets along well with our neighbor's twin Siamese cats.  |

i think it's never-ending, but it's a healthy rivalry. cats and dogs, being the most domesticated of all animals for so long, will always struggle for who is the better pet for their human owners.  |

| It is the balance of nature -- dogs and cats are natural rivals. However, I know of many cats and dogs who get along fine once they live together. It's just a matter of familiarizing them with each other and preventing them from invading the other's territory. |

| cats and dogs have always competed for humans' love and attention. it will always be that way. but it would be nice if no pet rivalry exists between these two species, don't you think? |

| There can be harmony but there will always be a rivalry. Look at us humans, We belong to the same species yet we fight. And we've fought the worst fights in the history of the animal kingdom. |

do you think cats and dogs are aware of this so-called rivalry between them? or is it just us humans who perceive it?  |

I think the root cause of cats and dogs rivalry is miscommunication of two species.
One good example is
dogs when they waggle their tail means they are happy
WHILE
cats when they waggle their tail they are angry
So with that guys, who do you think are war freak animal...  |

| Dogs and cats are natural rivals; I don't think we can do anything about that except train them and try to keep them civil towards each other. There are lots of dogs and cats who get along once they get familiarized enough with each other. |

That's true. In this sense, cats and dogs are like men and women haha
They can't seem to understand each other but one can't live without the other.  |

| i think dogs are the more warfreak between the two. a lot of times i've seen dogs chase a cat for no reason at all. cats do that also but only if they're frightened or threatened. |
