I love how, in the end, dogs are usually the brow-beaten ones in a family with dogs and cats. XD (I, too, have a beagle and cats, and our cats have decided that, since the dog is younger, she needs to be treated like a kitten would be, getting fed by the cats, but also disciplined when she does something wrong.)

The only time it's the cats who are brow-beaten is when the other pets in the house include either a bunch of guineapigs (guineapigs are scary, my cats maintain), or turtles, since they seem to utterly bewilder cats. XD
