Where in the world did we come up with the stereotype that cats and dogs are always fighting? As we've shown you already, dogs have an almost-magical power to cozy up with anyone else in the animal kingdom, and while cats have a reputation for being jerks, they're friendly enough to share your house with other pets. But somewhere in history we all started to think of cats and dogs as Garfield and Odie, when they're really more like Milo and Otis.
