What will it take for cats, dogs and mice to finally stop fighting and live in peace?

Answer 1

I don't know about mice but if you raise a puppy and a kitten together they will get along just fine when they are older.

Answer 2

Mice are the natural prey of cats and even if a cat is well fed, it may kill a mouse by playing with it. Play is nature's way of training the young you know. If the cat isn't well-fed, it will most certainly eat the mouse! As for cats and dogs, I think dogs are aside from being social, naturally inquisitive. Cats of other hand seem naturally paranoid... even kittens are quick to unsheath their claws and threaten you with their fangs even when still newborn and blind. What usually happens is that the dog tries to smell the cat, cat perceives a threat, cat scratches dog, dog barks at cat, cat more hostile than ever, and its an Arab-Israeli conflict in your home! If you can find a way for the cat to allow itself to be smelt and be passive, the two may get along.

Answer 3

A radical mutation. Actually, I have heard and seen that cats do not eat mice, they just kill them to get your approval. Sometimes they let them run around and don't do a thing. So maybe they are feeling like you don't give them enough loving or food or something that they need and try to seek your approval. Most of the time they kill mice out of boredom.
I have seen dogs imitate cats and I have seen them get along also.
So I guess what I am saying is that it is not necessarily inbred, but more an outgrowth of other factors, such as the need to feel dominant.

Answer 4

When you study animals, even people, fighting often results from being threathened, being just different or opposites, and being competitors for food, power or domain.
In the ecological heirachy, cats feeds on the mice, occasionally dogs too in the wild. Dogs can eat the cat. In short the threat to life and security usually causes a fight. But a fight can only ensues if there's no other way out.
Cats obviously differs from cats, and mice and vice versa. They have their own set of play, eating and living characteristics. Dogs love to chase cats. Cats dont want to be barked and chase by dogs. Cats love to play with objects and small animals like rats. Rats doesnt want to be played roughly by cats. Therefore fight ensues
Competion for food, affection and attention often causes conflict. A cat is a competitor of dogs for mans attention and affection. Terrotorial domain also causes fighting.
Unless these animals, and even us people learns to share and accept each other differences or respect our individuality, fighting will continue.
Greed, apathy, biases and unresolved differences will further worsen this but if we could teach them otherwise ---which even the most rational being often find difficult to learn---then we could see more rare scene of cat living peacefully with dogs, and even with mice which we see in circuses and some homes through conditioning early in their animal life.

Answer 5

Cats, dogs and mice have their own inexplicable reasons to fight among themselves. Atleast they are creatures without a sense of reasoning(or so we think). But what about human beings who are perfectly capable of thinking and reasoning? Are they doing something to promote peace?

Answer 6

They need to all find a common enemy so they can stop fighting each other and focus their energies on something else.

Maybe human beings.

Answer 7

They will have to pull themselves out of fantasy land. You watch too many cartoons. Worry about something real.

Answer 8

Pick up the animal. Dogs use your best judgment.

Answer 9

Let them smoke some weed. That usually helps.

Answer 10

Death.
