    If so, how do they react to each other?

    I used to have a hamster and my cat would sometimes knock the cage over trying to jump on top of it, but never go after the hamster. Currently I have dogs and they mostly ignore each other. Sibyl is scared of the biggest dog we have (a senior black lab - she's sort of huge) but not the others.

    We also have a dog. My oldest cat hates him and has from day one...but she hates our other cat, too. The other cat and dog get along great, though, and are best of buddies. I attribute most of the first one's issues being because she's old, grouchy, and very, very particular, so she's just a pain.

    We have two guinea pigs. Our Cat likes to torment them sometimes. He will reach into their cage and bat at them. They usually just run into their little hide-a-house and ignore him. Sometimes our female piggy will get a bit of an attitude with him if he bothers her. When we first got Lava he was still a kitten and he loved laying on the tops of the cages and reaching in to try to swat them. We corrected this because it really bothered our male piggy. Now they seem to just tolerate one another. If we have the guinea pigs out for floor time the cat gets put upstairs so we don't have any incidents just to be safe or all our fur babies.

    We have one dog, named Marley, who 2 of the cats get along with. He doesn't like my cat Kitty Love and chases him around the yard. I think it's because he's a big ball of fluff and Marley just wants to play with him.

    Awwwwwh. When I was younger I had an outside dog that always loved to play with cats. Most cats just wouldn't have it, but I had one at the time who loved him just as much and would sleep on his belly at night!
