For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Miscommunication...look at it this way dogs and cats have a different language and social structure. Dogs speak with body language and so do cats but the signals are different or mean something else...example:
when dogs are happy what do their tails do? wag back and forth quickly, when a cat wags it's tail quickly what does it mean...back off I'm getting ticked off... and dogs have a prey drive for chase like andy-hughes said..when socialized properly cats and dogs get along, they learn each others language, just like they learn ours (eventually), cats are not socially oriented creatures, they don't need a "pack" to survive, dogs do...you've got 2 different species there.
Cats are real good at the "Stare", to a dog it's a threatening gesture, dogs only wanting confrontation and think they can win will take on the cat that stares at it, until they realize the feet are dangerous, (when they play with each other their toes don't cause injury, so who da thunk the feet can tear flesh the dog says)...can you understand what I'm trying to say even tho it's almost 1 a.m. here and I gotta go to bed...?
