When a dog bites a cat, is it really a bite or a play?

Dogs bite cats generally as a joke and will not really bite the cat. You can observe the dog's state. If the dog appears angry, then it may be a real bite. Cats usually don’t bite hard when playing. Cats and dogs raised at home can normally coexist peacefully, especially cats and dogs that have grown up together.
Tips:
If it is an unfamiliar cat or dog, you need to pay more attention to avoid injury.
