Re: Harmonious cat and dog households -
Do Not, no matter how funny it is the first few times, encourage the dog to chase the cat when the cat is being annoying.

My $.02. Oh, and congrats, Robin! And good luck!
Anyone have any tips on living in a harmonious cat and dog household?
Amych has both - you should check with her.
at my university, they won't renew your parking pass ifyou have tickets.
They don't issue our passes. I'm not employed by the university. Not a student.
And anyway, they shouldn't ticket me where I am now because it is unmarked. Nearest sign refers the other way and someone just whacked the head off the meter. So technically? I'm good. But the security people can be jerks here. I'd HOPE they are too busy actually being, I dunno, security, considering there was a murder on campus recently. And half the emergency call boxes hang up on you.
go to New Zealand!
Actually, in all seriousness, this sounds like a great idea.

Yes. Or Japan, for horizon expansion.
Nicole! It's been forever since I posted with you! How are you?
Robin, congrats on the dog. I have no useful info, just that.
I didn't do anything in particular to get the dog and cats to get along. The dog came into the household as a puppy when the cats were full grown, and I think that helped establish the cats as dominant. The dog is never ever ever allowed to chase cats (any cats, not just ours), though he is allowed to bark at strange cats who try to come in our open window. They worked everything else out on their own, and I probably don't know all the subtleties.
Dogs are fun. They require a different kind of attention than cats and they have different rewards
How about Dubrovnik, ita? Or in Greece, Meganisi or Skiros?
Yeah, dog / cat households are a lot more pleasant when the cats are firmly in charge, so whatever you can do to reinforce that... It's not so much that they're benevolent dictators, but they are more hands-off, and dogs don't get so touchy at being bossed around.
