Squatter's Rights
The relationship between Lemon and Kimse has always been a little shady. Lemon, the older of the two and the cat, has never been shy in expressing his assumption of superiority over the dog. Lemon often gives Kimse looks of disgust, annoyed by the dog's mere existence.However, Lemon has also appreciated some of what Kimse has brought to the household. For instance, just as Lemon feels comfortable sitting on the keyboard while one of the humans is typing, he finds similar pleasure in taking a snooze on Kimse's bed. Here, Kimse's expression is priceless, as she seems dumbfounded to find her bed already claimed by Lemon and his long afternoon nap. Not even her ball provides her with any solace.

Priceless.
I have a 3 yr old 12 lb. female spayed Yorkie and a 9 yr old 14 lb. neutralized tomcat. These two are the absolute BEST of buddies. They wrestle with each other, hunt chipmunks together, sleep together etc.
Both have pretty feisty characters but together they are the "Dynamic Duo"
In short, its an amazing relationship and one of my pleasures in life to witness. relationship
Miles, our 10lb. stray cat has appropriated our 95lb collie's bed as well. In turn the collie is trying to appropriate my bed. The cat is having better luck.
The cat is fond of street fighting when he gets out, and often comes home battered. When this happens Miles will curl up with the dog and the dog will lick the cat's wounds until they heal. The vet says that's as good as anything for treating wounds. Finally the dog has figured out a way to save me a couple of bucks.
Menck, One thing that I have realized that its a myth that cats and dogs are enemies. At least when they live in a human family atmosphere, the relationship is more a brotherhood.
The other thought that I have had is that mammals have a "family" instinct of sorts ie we all naturally wish to live in some form of happy family
