Sworn enemies, natural rivals and complete opposites – this is how we look at the relationship between cats and dogs. Although we’ve seen canines and felines living harmoniously together under one roof, many pet owners still have a hard time trying to make them get along. We need to understand that canines and felines have a naturally antagonistic relationship. Despite domestication, their natural tendency of seeing each other as enemies still remains in their genes. And, it would seem that the felines have the upper hand as owners often spot their cats bullying the dogs!
But then again, this doesn’t mean that they can’t be friends. Keep in mind that friendship takes time to develop and maintain. And that is true even for cats and dogs. You can’t expect them to become instant buddies right off the bat. Their natural instinct initially comes into play and they are likely to fight upon meeting for the first time. Dogs see cats as prey and cats see dogs as a threat. And it’s not something they choose to do, it’s just instinctively hardwired into their brains. But as they spend time together (and with the owner’s supervision), they learn to acknowledge each other as members of the family and eventually end up being friends. Even if cats enjoy bullying dogs.
Pet Owners Share The Times They’ve Caught Their Cats Scaring Dogs
“They Were Both Sleeping 3 Minutes Ago”
It’s a proven fact that cats and dogs have different personalities. Our canine companions, once you’ve earned their trust, will be forever loyal to you. So, once they’ve formed a friendship with their live-in feline pals, they become the most loving and tolerant buddy. But the same can’t be said for the feisty kitties. No offense meant for all you cat lovers but felines are actually the biggest jerks in the animal kingdom. Once they’ve earned the trust of their canine pals, they don’t actually treat them as friends but rather as mere servants.

As a loyal friend, a dog usually puts up with their feline friend’s bullying without any intention of fighting back. While, scheming felines tend to take advantage of this by acting all mighty and dignified. Pictures speak louder than words, right? That’s why we have collected these photos to show cats bullying dogs, it really shows that cats can be jerks!

Cats And Dogs Have Competition But It Can Get Out Of Hand
It’s cute to watch cats and dogs having friendly competition. But owners need to determine when the competition is getting out of hand. Sure, dogs can be extremely lenient with other household pets. But they surely know when enough is enough. They won’t hesitate to fight back when push comes to shove. And trust us when we say that felines don’t stand a chance against them when they take the fight seriously. If you think a fight is about to break out, separate them immediately and make sure to calm them down before letting them see each other again.
