Becoming friends: cat breeds that easily get along with dogs

The expression "live like a cat and a dog" implies that the two individuals are irreconcilable. However, do cats and dogs not get along? In reality, that's not the case. These animals can be very tender friends, constantly increasing joy in the house. Yet, some cat breeds tend to be more friendly with dogs than others.

OBOZREVATEL tells you about a dozen cat breeds whose representatives get along best with dogs. At the same time, they are also very open to people.

Abyssinian Cat

This is one of the most extroverted cat breeds. Abyssinians will enjoy any kind of communication and will gladly make friends with a dog, especially if it shares their passion for active play.

American Shorthair

The process of adapting this cat to a dog is unlikely to be quick. But it will end with the animals becoming true friends. Cats of this breed are also friendly to children.

Burmese Cat

The Burmese can be trained to play, much like a dog. For example, these cats like to fetch balls. So they will not be bored with dogs.

Bombay Cat

Due to their innate playfulness, Bombay cats can not only quickly make friends with a dog but also initiate all joint activities. Such a company is well suited for dogs prone to separation anxiety.

Maine Coon

A giant cat is bigger than some dogs, and dogs respect that. Especially considering that Maine Coons do not tend to take advantage of their size advantage - they are very sociable with dogs.

Ragdoll

This is one of the most affectionate cat breeds that loves to sit in a person's arms. The Ragdoll is just as willing to make contact with a dog.

Japanese Bobtail

This breed is recommended for those who have restless children. And what is a dog if not a restless child? The Japanese Bobtail will be very patient with a dog.

Norwegian Forest Cat

Another giant breed that knows its worth. Norwegians love to walk outside, so they will be happy to keep a dog company not only at home but also for a walk.

Tonkinese Cat

These cats are very devoted to their family and do not make a difference who exactly is part of it. Therefore, a dog for a Tonkinese cat will be just as much a family member as any human.

Siberian Cat

These furry creatures are valued for their high intelligence and sociability. They show these qualities in communication not only with people but also with other animals, including dogs.
