While some cats and dogs get along so well it’s heartwarming to watch, other pets are such jerks to each other that they remind us that Sunday morning cartoons always knew something more than we did.
Bored Panda has collected the funniest examples of cats acting like the biggest jerks to their live-in canine pals. Scroll down, upvote your fave pics, and let us know in the comments if your cats and your dogs get along well, dear Pandas. Oh, and pray for us because the cattos might be out to get us for outing their dirty little secrets!
There are a bunch of reasons why your cat might be attacking your dog. It’s alright if things stay playful, however, that’s not always the case.

While some cats might be lashing out because they feel threatened, others might be mean because they fancy themselves as the big bad predator of the house. It’s in every owner’s interest to make sure their pets get along.
If your pets keep on fighting, they might get seriously hurt. So if things are getting out of hand, you might want to separate them when you can’t keep an eye on them. Until you come up with a way to make sure that Mr. Cat and Ms. Dog like each other.

My Cat Recently Discovered The Dog Bed
Cats that act out may in fact be overwhelmed with stress. Maybe your cat’s feeling stressed out because it’s (still) not used to having the dog around the house. Perhaps you’re stressing out about life and your cat’s picking up on your vibes. Or maybe it’s worried that the stuff that we all had to deal with in 2020 won’t magically end with the New Year. Who knows!
The point is, your cat needs to feel calm, so do your best to remove any factors that might be stressing it out from its immediate environment. Also, try giving it some toys to play with or chew to help it relax.
Keep in mind that any friendship takes time and trust to develop. You can’t expect your pets that have been at each other’s throats to suddenly become best buds. However, with a lot of patience, you can help them respect each other’s boundaries and, hopefully, start a magical friendship.

Of course, the problem here is that when the humans tolerate this behavior because they can get cute social media photos, eventually the dog, much bigger than the cat, will snap. And things will not work out well.

My cat hated my dog, until cat got sick. While recovering, cat took to sleeping in the dog bed because it was bigger. The dog would still lay in her own bed (cat was not contagious) while making sure not to sit on the cat, cat discovered that dog was warm and started to lay on the dog to sleep. Cat and dog have been best friends ever since.

I just hope these owners help their dogs and move the cats out of beds/off stair etc. They shouldn't have to live in fear of anyone in their household.
Yeah, you heard 4 years ago
Yeah, many of these show cats physically hurting the dogs, and here people are upvoting it. Why? It's the same mentality where peiple laugh at men who are victims of domestic violence: they think it's funny because women are small and men are big. Not funny though. I hope these poor dogs get rescued from cats who bite and scratch them.

This is why I like dogs better. If a dog barks or bites, it gets disciplined/trained to behave. If a cat does it, it's "awwww look at what the cat did!"

Agreed. When was the last time a cat got put down for aggressive behavior? Yet cats are far more aggressive than dogs, they're just smaller.

My cats love my dog, and vice versa. Dog was dumped as a puppy, with his mom. One day he was very sick, so I brought him in the house. The only time he ever snapped at one of my cats. But it was her fault, she has a bad habit of sticking a claw in anyone she encounters, and stuck one in his head. She's not being mean, just clueless! But he is never afraid of the cats. If one is in his bed he just snuggles up to them..and they are never afraid of him.

We had a Collie/German Shepherd mix we called Corky when I was growing up. We "acquired" a kitten when someone left them in a box by the drive entrance to the old drive entrance to my dad's family farm. We used to spend spring holidays and summers there in the old home place. We found families for all but the one I wanted to keep, a solid grey long hair, possible "Persian" mix, that we named "Smokey". Smokey did have a white "star" on the center of his chest under his chin. Corky tolerated the kitten for a little while, then one day I got up early to let Corky out before feeding him. I found Smokey curled up in the middle of Corky's belly, with his chin resting on Corky's legs and them both in my dad's recliner. Fortunately, the recliner had a heavy vinyl covering and was easy to keep clean.

We have an unspayed female cat (she's a rescue; when I find the money she's going in!) She was recently in heat--noise, no bother, both boys were denutted long ago. But as she's waving her rail in the air, desperately looking for the wrong type of attention, here comes the dog with his cold nose. And she screams in outrage, and whirls, while he scrambles back out of range. 30 seconds later, she's stropping on him. Critters!

Be careful though, cats need different nutrients in their food to dogs and take care to help the dog adjust, it was their home first and it can cause considerable anxiety for them.

My cat (18 lbs) and dog ( 4 lbs) used to chase each other thru the house. First one would chase then turn around and the other would chase. This lasted until the cat got tired of it and the cat swatted the dog, making him go rolling across the floor. On a carpet(more resistance) my dog would grab the cat's ear and pull him around in circles, UNTL he got tired of it. Then the swat would come again, sending poor Puppy several feet. I wish we had cameras in our phones back then.

My dog was the jerk first. When I got Sora she tried so hard to lay with him and cuddle but Eli wouldn't have any if it. They'd play but no snuggles. She'll put up with a lot of his c**p even letting him win a lot, but she can throw him across the room if she really wants to (and has). Now? 7 years later? Oh she'll try to steak his spot, fight for couch rights, and smack him. She can't bite him, no more teeth, but he's still a jerk too. If he knows she's under the covers he'll lay on her or walk on her to get her to move. Both of them, tit for tat, have made me laugh a lot.

Tive 3 cachorras idosas, primeiro as tive, depois vieram os gatos, no começo foi dureza, deixar todos juntos, aos poucos foram se acostumando, com o tempo, aqui na minha casa, tive 7 gatos e 4 cachorras. Com muita luta, eu consegui fazer que eles ficassem amigos e depois de algum tempo, ambos já estavam até dormindo e convivendo juntos no mesmo ambiente, viveram juntos por mais de 5 anos, agora tenho 6 gatos, porque as cachorras morreram e recentemente perdi um gato, mas enquanto as cachorras viveram, se deram bem com os gatos, mas foi difícil essa união.

People apparently find it cute when cats are aggressive, hurt and draw blood on dogs, as shown above. If a dog fights back, people don't find it so cutesy, because yeah most dogs can kill a cat. But when people like and endorse these "a*****e cats" it's no wonder than dogs sometimes exact revenge on a sometimes unsuspecting kitty. We shouldn't endorse either type of aggression.

Cats are hilarious and have a sense of humour. Many dog people don't understand cats and think they are aggressive, but they aren't unless they've been abused and have had to learn to defend themselves. Cats are usually very calm and assured and only wary of dogs because they are bigger and noisy. I prefer cats over dogs any day. Much more intelligent, much cleaner, quieter, really sweet and can be very funny. Cats are lovely.
