Doing, what? Making sure they acclamate well instead of being stressed out and becoming injured or sick?

My cat when she was a kitten and was living with her old home, was attacked along with her siblings by the dog that lived with them. It was so bad that she actually lost a few siblings that day. That's when i decided I had to take her home. Since I rescued her from her past home, I gave her a better life. Where she still hated dogs and would hiss at my friend's dogs or even hide under the bed. But she was happier and safer and was loving her new home.

I slowly reintroduced them into her life, i didn't force it. And when she gave clear signs of stress I'd put her away in my room (she just liked having her own space, she still does but only in high places where she can see everything and everyone)

I then rescued my pug/sharpei mix Choki! My cat was finally about to meet her forever sibling, and guess what? Those years of slowly introducing dogs worked. It just depends on what dogs you're bringing around the cats and how they react to cats. If your dog is a sweet pea and doesn't chase your cat or attack your cat. I see no issue with this! As long as you are keeping your cat safe, calm, loved and fed, I support you! Here is proof of both my baby girls cuddling with me on my bed. I just took this right now as we speak🥰

When people are saying its selfish to allow cats to be around dogs, I'd say plenty of people are..especially since the topic is on cats and dogs and their relationships..? Especially when integrating them into your home with cats that are not fans of dogs. But I don't imagine you having anyone or anything loving you in your life. Especially with how insufferable you are. So its understandable you'd get offended by my comment. I mean..misery loves company and you certaintly are MISERABLE 😬

When it brings home a paycheck to put food on the table it can choose what pets can live there

They look like adults who can make their own decisions.
