The tiny Chihuahua with its smooth or long coat and big, pointed ears is as much a dog as the huge Great Dane, but a cat unfamiliar with either may not recognize them as the same species. Cats don’t fool anyone...at least with their appearance.

Are they enemies?
The idea that dogs hate cats may have been born because dogs chase cats and grew because cartoons depicted ongoing battles between the two species. Or it may have been generated because some dog people strongly dislike cats and some cat people disdain dogs. However, dogs and cats can live peaceably as long as owners understand the behaviors of each.

Both dogs and cats are predators. Cats pounce on anything that moves... birds, grasshoppers, and feathery toys waved on the end of a stick. Dogs chase anything that moves, especially if it squeals, hisses, or otherwise mouths off. If the cat triggers the dog’s prey drive, the dog will chase.

If you sneeze Cairo will jump in your face DID YOU DO THAT!!

Cairo will find his place and they will become the best of friends...You will be busy and have your work cut out for you though...at least for the first couple of days..

Your cats are declawed right?? That's a bonus for Cairo, they may be tiny but they can ROAR!! As I am sure he will...and before long they will be curled up together...

I am so looking forward to when you get him home...He will be more spoiled than my babies are...And as you recall they both have a cat...hehe...
