Would my cats get along with a pet pig or would the pig bully them?
Like Brian mentioned, don't believe the breeder hype for a so called "micro" pig. If a breeder guarantees that the pig won't get any bigger than 20 lbs, run for the hills because that is not an honest breeder. Breeders talk you into literally starving your pig to try to keep them small. That doesn't work, the pig dies. Don't fall for a "bottle baby" either. A piglet MUST stay with mom for at least 6 to 8 weeks, if not more. The momma pig teaches the piglet how to behave, and that is SO important in getting a well adjusted piggy.Ok, now that I've had my rant, and thank you for bearing with me, pigs love cats. My family has two piggies, both about 100 lbs, and Daisy LOVES our cats! The cats though, not so much, haha.Don't freak out over 100 lbs. You're thinking about how big a 100 lb dog is and they don't compare. A pig is VERY dense, they wear their weight well. Daisy is the size of a medium dog, to stay with dogs, and doesn't quite come up to my knee. Here is Daisy (black potbellied) and Hammer (gray and black Juliana) hanging out on the couch with their favorite blankets.I'd also suggest joining a pig group on Facebook to do some research and see what pig owners put up with daily. \U0001f60a. Mini Pig Education is a wonderful group with lots of info in the Files section of the group. Also Just Mini Pigs and We Love Potbelly Pigs are great, join all three.
Do lizard pets get along in the same cage?
That isn't a good idea, as these animals will have different habitat requirements, and they stress easily. The presence of the other species will likely throw all of them off balance. House them separately if you get the chameleon, for the best interest of every animal involved.
Do your pets get along with each other?
I have four cats (!) and a chocolate lab. The lab is a big, dumb gentle beast who loves and is loved by all the cats. The cats often cuddle up to him, which he seems to like. He does not like when the cats are tussling amongst themselves, and often seeks to referee their squabbles.The cats sort of get along, but with four of them there are some combinations that work better than others. Georgia, the eldest, is related to Gadget and they get along quite well. But Georgia and Lucy, the most recent addition, despise each other for reasons I am unable to fathom. Possibly because the two tabbies look the most similar to each other- the stereotypical two women in the same dress situation? I don't know. I just know there is a lot of hissing.Gizmo is the only male, is enormous and loves to play-fight, which all the cats but Gadget will tolerate. His arrival changed Gadget from a total sweetheart into a prickly, edgy thing, which I feel very bad about. Gizmo and Lucy seem equally matched when they battle, so nothing much comes of their fights. Lucy seems to like alone time the most though.Despite the odd bout of antagonistic warfare, it's a mostly stable menagerie.Georgia and Gadget bond as they demonstrate why I can no longer have a Christmas treeGizmo and Lucy share some pre- (or post-) combat downtime.
Do ferrets get along with cats if I have both as pets?
Yes, ferrets can get along with cats and dogs, but only after supervised introductions, and continued supervision in future. Kits and kittens can be carefully introduced without much fear of injury as they will be of similar size. Introduction of both species as youngsters is the best possible scenario. If done at a young age, they will likely become life long playmates.If introducing to a dog, the breed will be of major consideration, especially with hunting or terrier breeds, as they will regard a ferret as prey to be killed. As with cats, the younger the animals, the more likely they will get along well. Older animals have to be introduced with caution, preferable on leashes until you are sure it is safe. A disgruntled snap from a large dog can easily break a ferret’s neck or back. Ferrets love to jump and tumble, clambering over their playmates. Until the dog or cat becomes accustomed to such antics, they need constant supervision.Ferrets should always be supervised, and never left alone, unconfined. They are way too curious for their own good, which is one of their endearing traits to owners, and can and will explore and get into everything that strikes their fancy. Some of these explorations are dangerous (chewing electrical cords), burrowing behavior can dislodge neatly placed items (like books) or items may be broken. None of this is done deliberately or in spite, it is just the way they are.Ferrets really need to have a safe habitat for confinement when nobody is home. Since adults sleep for long periods of time, like cats, they really won’t be bothered being locked in their “bedroom”. As long as they have a snuggly place to sleep, food and water available, some toys and a clean litter box in the cage, they will be content. When you come home though, they will be eager to be let out to play with you or anyone else who will oblige.A roomy homemade ferret habitatWill Your Ferret Get Along With Your Other Pets?How to Introduce Ferrets to Other Pets
Do cats and dogs get along?
I have 3 cats at home but, I found a puppy that someone dropped off at my work. She is really nice and playful. I've been thinking about taking her home but, I don't know how my cats will react.

Getting two cats to get along?
I recently moved into an apartment with my boyfriend, and we brought our respective cats to live with us. It's a new place to both of them, so they not only have to adjust to a new home, but they have to adjust to each other. I know that eventually the cats will get along with or without my help, but is there anything I should do to help? The older cat (8 years) is less apprehensive and usually ignores or stares at the other cat, but has never growled or showed aggression. The younger cat (2 years) has never before seen one of her own kind and she growls and hisses at the older cat. Should I chide my younger cat when she's aggressive, even though I know she's just frightened? Or reassure her? A mixture of both? Should I do anything to monitor or discipline my older cat?
How do dogs and cats get along?
Thanks for the A2A.Every cat and dog has a unique personality. Please be careful when you introduce new pets to each other. Let them smell each other but don’t allow them to touch each other until they are calm. There is a lot of information available on introducing pets to each other.Some cats and dogs get along and some don’t. Some just agree to avoid each other. Some are just ignore each other. Some are polite but indifferent. You can not predict how well two animals will get along but you can reduce their fear and aggression if they are properly introduced.I have one cat and two dogs. The cat and ones of the dogs are polite and acknowledge that each other belong in the household. They don’t show any signs of aggression toward each other but they are not friendly either.The cat and the other dog are strange. The dog adores the cat and tries to get her to play. The cat will run from the dog and hiss at her. A minute later, the cat is rubbing up against the dog or they are laying down next to each other like they are best friends.
Who do you get along better with: people or pets?
If I bring the same attitude I have towards my pet, I canget along with people also. I have unconditional love for my dog. I give him shelter, I give him food, I accompany him for walk, I clean his waste with my hands,,I take him to the doctor , I give him bath and I got him insured for medical. In turn I get no service back from my dog except his action of love, If I repeat all these services to a human being, I am able to get along with them also who are also showing love in turn. It is how you deal that is counted for getting along well.

Do you think my cat can get along with a new pet rabbit?
Your cat reacts to unknown animals, so you will have a problem. Whether this is temporary or permanent is hard to say.My cats hissed at each other for three weeks, when a kitten visited the house. They never met the kitten! They smelt that something was different and divided the house up. Each time one crossed into the area of the other they snarled and spat.We had to lock them up together in a large laundry room to get over it. They hissed and spat and raced around screaming. Eventually sleeping together because of the cold was easier. That took two weeks.A lot of this is due to anxiety. Leave the rabbit in the cage and let the cat get used to him. This may take some time, so be patient. Feed the cat its favourite treat next to the cage and talk calmly , patting it. Give it two weeks minimum. The rabbit needs to be ‘boring old news’.Touch the rabbit and then the cat, to put the rabbits smell on the cats fur. Do this daily. Like perfume, we get used to things and that is what you want. Otherwise smelling the rabbit anew will set the cat off to react.The vet may help with further advice.
