There are both cats and dogs at home, and it seems like a happy life of "both cats and dogs, the peak of life", right?
But in fact, in this seemingly perfect day with cats and dogs, there are also many small troubles that make people scratch their heads.
Small contradiction 1: Territory battles
The two small animals, cats and dogs, are particularly concerned about their territory. Dogs like to mark everywhere at home, while cats prefer to leave their own scent on some high places or hidden corners.
But the home is so big, there will inevitably be overlapping. In the process of living together, these two animals will inevitably have some friction due to territorial issues.
You may see cats sometimes looking down at the dog from a high place, and the dogs will occasionally scream at the cats, trying to declare sovereignty.
Small Contradiction 2: Differences in communication methods
The communication methods of cats and dogs are completely different. This difference can sometimes lead to misunderstandings and even lead to skirmishes.
For example, a dog's tail wagging may indicate excitement, but in the eyes of a cat, it may be a threat signal.
Small contradiction 3: Different living habits
The living habits of cats and dogs are also very different. Dogs usually need more attention and exercise, while cats tend to be independent and quiet.
This difference may cause some inconvenience in daily life, such as when a dog wants to play, it may disturb the cat who is resting, and vice versa.
Small Contradiction Four: Food Battle
Eating is a big deal! Although cats and dogs have different eating habits, they will inevitably feel curious when they see the food in each other's bowl.
Dogs may steal cat food, and cats may also attack dog food. This kind of "cross-border" taste is sometimes not just because of hunger, but also an instinctive curiosity.
Small Contradiction 5: Toy Battle
Don't think that only children will grab toys, as it is the same between cats and dogs. A ball or a plush toy may all become the targets they compete for.
The dog may run around the room with biting a toy, while the cat is chasing him from behind. A toy battle began.
Small Contradiction Six: The Battle for Attention
This may be the most troublesome problem for the shovelers. Whenever you go home, cats and dogs will rush to you, wanting to get your attention and caress.
Dogs may wag their tails and look at you with anticipation; while cats may rub against you, scratching you with their little paws, trying to get your attention.
Small contradiction seven: Risk of disease transmission
Although disease transmission between cats and dogs is not common, there are still certain risks.
Certain parasites and viruses may spread between different species, so it is crucial to deworm, get vaccinated, and maintain good hygiene.
Having said so much, in fact, the small conflict between these cats and dogs is the joy of their lives.
The fight and play between them not only add a lot of fun to our lives, but also gives us a deeper understanding of these two completely different creatures.
Therefore, although life with both cat and dogs is sometimes troublesome, it is more joyful and warm. How can such a life not be enviable?
