Friendship between a cat and a dog

We’ve all heard that old saying, “They were fighting like cats and dogs”, but do they really have to be arch enemies or can our best friends become friends with each other too? Sometimes a cat and a dog will become instant friends, often they will develop a tolerance of each other over many years and occasionally they can’t even be in the same room together. Just like with kids, sometimes a little bit of coaxing and a touch of manipulation is all that is needed to help them make friends.
