Oct 26, 2012 at 3:44 comment added DuckMaestro I'm not seeing how, in its current phrasing, this is a skeptical question.
Oct 24, 2012 at 20:14 comment added Dunk I personally don't buy the premise that cats and dogs fighting is inherent or unique just because they are cats and dogs. In my experience, dogs tend to chase after any animal it doesn't recognize, not just cats. I think the reason people associate cats/dogs fighting is because by and large, they are the most popular pets and the most common interactions between animals that people see. Once cats and dogs get to know each other they can be quite affectionate towards the other.

Removed photo because I am an evil moderator who hates fun (and also believes that photographers shouldn't have their work used without permission or fair use.))

May 11, 2011 at 19:02 comment added user5341 The most obvious would be that they were conflicting over food resources, both being predators - both evolutionary-wise, and in current conditions.
May 11, 2011 at 18:34 comment added David Hedlund My experience is that dogs will be involved in chasing cats, and that the participation from the cat's point of view is highly involuntary.
