破除误解：猫狗和谐共处的实用指南（七选五）

Do cats and dogs really hate each other? Are cats and dogs really enemies? Well, the short answer is no. In fact, studies show that with enough socializing and exposure, cats and dogs can become friendly with each other. ____1____
The introduction should be gradual. Introducing your pet to a new pet or even a newborn baby should be a gradual process. Don’t simply put them into the same room together. That’s a disaster. ____2____ For example, let them sniff and get familiar with the scent of a new animal. You can do this by letting them meet on opposite sides of a closed door.
Give both pets their own space. ____3____ Especially, a cat requires her own safe space she can escape to whenever the new dog gets too excited and starts chasing her around. Since cats love the height, you can make use of wall shelves or tall cat trees for this purpose.
____4____ Give them equal time. Do dogs get jealous? Yes! Dogs get jealous when you pay attention to other pets instead of them. On the other hand, we all know cats rarely get jealous. They do, however, suffer from separation anxiety. Therefore, it is clear that to make your pets get along well, you need to give them equal attention, time, and love.
Don’t make them fight for food and toys. Pets will fight if they regard other animals in the house as competition for their resources. This includes food and toys. ____5____ Likewise for toys.
As opposed to popular belief, cats and dogs actually do not hate each other. In fact, they can get along pretty well if they’ve been socialized from a young age.
