My kitty Miss Molly would sleep in the bend of my knees every night and we have dogs and they get along the thing being she wont run from them she stands her ground and they are like something is wrong here she wont run. they gave up and peace ensued if you love them and I would let the dogs get on the bed and also the cats and they all spread out and went to sleep I think the trick is constant exposure and they seem to adjust and just move on. they eat togeter have their bowls lined up and they know their own bowl its amazing how peaceful it is
