Here's our little "Merlin" tabby at maybe 4 or 5 months holding down our tortie "Bella." She was very nice to him, then he grew up and turned into a monster who chases her a lot. He weighs about 12 pounds now at 4 years and looks just like Hercules.

Everyone knows that cats and dogs have a natural rivalry, but what happens when they're both forced to live under the same roof?
Hilarity ensues, of course.
Pet owners from all around the world have been sharing hilarious snaps of cats and dogs at war in an online gallery.

Any pictures of them, not necessarily in breakneck motion? I’d love to see more of the FReeper pets.
How adorable! Thanks for the pics.
Thankfully, my three dogs and my Maine Coon cat are good friends and my doggies are protective of my cat.
I don’t have any photos of any of my critters anywhere I could post them online.
You’re very welcome. I love anything with fur.
Maine Coons are WONDERFUL! A friend had one and I adored it.
My wolfhound and tiny Persian were the same color, and the huge dog would hold down the tiny cat with one paw and lick her until she was soggy. The only ones protective toward one another were my dogs. When I brought in a 3rd puppy, the middle dog would keep moving between the old dog and the puppy to keep his old friend from being bothered.
Well, give them a hug from us.
Would love to fill the house with furry critters. Husband says we stop at two. So I fill the table under the library window with cat food, bird seed, bread, peanuts and bologna and feed anything that comes near the house.

Merlin is beautiful!
That face! We kept one kitten out of a 3 kitten litter. Husband named them for a computer error message.
DREDL ERROR TPX
Disc read logical error on typewriter X
We kept Error, and he looked JUST like Merlin. You brought back great memories. Thank you.
Cute pic:)
Our Maine Coon weighs around 25 pounds. He’s a very sweet, intelligent cat, who can be a bit hyperactive.
My oldest dog is named “Bella”. She belonged to a family a few houses from us but they neglected and verbally abused her. She is such a sweet, gentle dog and we fell in love with her. So did our Maine Coon:) She got pregnant and had puppies under our shed.
We had Bella and her “sons” fixed and they live happily with us.
Thanks for your pic!
LOL. Pets are a handful but provide so much love and entertainment.
“Error” - LOL. Great name.
Our daughter had a roommate who had a cat who birthed Merlin. Our daughter was there when he was born, so we’ve had him since he was born. Of course Daughter moved away and we’ve inherited Merlin.
He has the most interesting habits. Will jump up and sit next to me on one particular chair. Skittish and any strange noise scares him. Doesn’t like strangers. Doesn’t like his face rubbed much. Barely tolerates being picked up and when you do pick him up he gives you the stiff-arm but he sleeps on our bed every night and sleeps through the whole night. Never wakes up to go on patrol. Bella can never sleep through the night so she sleeps in the cold garage. If we leave her in, you will always wake to heavy clump-clump-clump footsteps right at 3 am.
Merlin sound wonderful because he does need to be near you. Loved King Arthur when young.
We had a very skittish grey cat we took in that husband named Greycode for Greycode’s Algorithm. We made real mistakes with our present two - Watson and Rory. For some reason, neither of us can remember their names and we’re always pointing and saying “That one!”
I worry terribly over wild animals, so we leave the window up in the garage and it’s filled with animal beds and heat lamps in the winter. Our neighbor claimed she always did a doubletake because the garage kept looking like it was on fire.
Computer, algorithm, language and compsci author names for your kitties...LOL, now that is an inexhaustible supply of names! Sleep, Bogo, Knuth, Bubble, Goro, Hadoop, Painter, Blum Blum Shub, Girvan, Quick, Intro, Pancake, and on and on.
Nice. I’ll have to put those away somewhere.
We switched into TV shows after computers. Ilya (Man from Uncle) was a standoffish Cairn who followed me everywhere but just out of touching reach. He crawled up onto my chest to die while we were watching Man from Uncle. Waverly, a Bichon, named for the same show. Rory was a companion on Dr Who.
Henry, another Bichon, was named for a werecub in my screenplay, “Here, Henry!” That was before I learned almost all my male ancestors were named Henry.
Nice naming schemes! Our kids named ours.
PK was our adorable “vacation cat” who adopted us while on vacation. We checked everywhere and nobody owned him; vets found no chip; no Neighbors’s knew him; no posters. Winter was coming on shortly, so we rescued him and he was the best ever.
Then Bella and Beau, our Bichon who passed a few months back.
Infinitely lucky PK! So glad he found you.
And my deepest condolences on Beau. Absolutely heartbreaking. I’d love to hear about him if you’re up to the memories yet.
MARVELOUS! Smart puppy!
That is INCREDIBLE! What a great shot. Brilliant. And more adjectives than I can even imagine. And I love adjectives. Oh, thank you, Daffy.
