I remember when people would say cats and dogs don't mix

Or to fight like cats and dogs

I've always been of the mind that animals get along. Maybe in the wild if an animal is starving that changes, but generally I thing they get along.

Or maybe if their space is intruded on

With all kinds of animals too. They did the same. Kinda like human brothers and sisters.

but not at all outside. I worked night shift and got home around 2:00am one cold winter night. My husky was curled up on the front porch. My cat was curled up on top of my husky.😂

Mind you, I get nervous when they stick their noses up to the parrot cages (I have two African greys and two orange wing Amazons, and anyone who can crack open a walnut has the potential to take a nose right off...), but everyone has always been happy with their siblings over the years. Even Duncan (my wire fox terrier who was raised by some arsehole to chase cats) quickly learned they made good buddies.

It can be altered because of the character of the owner. But thar could be just when the provocateur is there.
