Hiram and I have 6 cats and 1 dog, my mother has 3 cats and 1 dog and my aunt also has a cat and a dog. That's too darned many pets between us, but they are all very endearing in their own ways.
At home, it's the dog who is usually harassed by the cats.

However, when two or more kitties get a bit too fiesty and start hissing, etc., my pup will go bark at them to break up the fight, LOL.
