small pets
By nature, cats tend to chase and play with anything that moves. So a goldfish in a bowl or a bird in a cage are great pastimes.
If the cat manages to get out, however, he will easily learn the difference between what is huntable and what is human property.
However, to avoid problems it is always better to leave the animals out of reach, especially in the absence of the owner.
The same problem could be posed with mice and hamsters, however a cat raised in contact with these animals almost certainly loses the predatory instinct towards them.
relationship with dogs
Guinea pigs and rabbits can make good playmates.
relationship with dogs
The relationship with dogs is completely different, in spite of the typical saying "to be like dog and cat", often (both at home and in the countryside) we see cats and dogs living peacefully, often even falling asleep together.
The reason for this dual behavior is due to differences in intraspecific languages. In fact, the problems are overcome when there is direct contact between the two and in fact when the cat no longer feels threatened.
