I've a japanese spitz (dog) and a cat as pets and they can co exist harmoniously together side by side probaby because since young I've let them be together.Although the dog is the > playful type as it always like to hassle the cat and the cat may occasionally growl to show its temper but they can still co exist peacefully and sometimes can be jealous too esp if I hug one but not the other.I can leash and bring the dog for daily walk but the cat can't be leashed and brought out for walk.Anyway these 2 pets have brought tremendous joy to my family.What other pets do U have...care to share?
