Can dogs and
cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting
a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research
has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted
before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months
for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along
swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship
between their cat and dog.
However, it wasn't
all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in
25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.
One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.
For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing
the same signals submission.
In homes with
cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They
are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn
how to talk ‘Dog', and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat'.
What's interesting
is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can
learn how to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more
in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence
and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose,
and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl
and in some cases groom (梳理)
each other.
The significance
of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don't get along,
including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and
dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
