Enemies is a powerful thing to say. Some dogs do have instincts, and depending on how the dog was brought up, it may at times act out against a cat. Sometimes you'll find it's the cat that has bigger issues with the dog. Unfortunately, some dogs are instinctually driven to chase cats, if not impossible, to break. This is called predatory aggression and involves stalking, chasing, catching, biting and even killing. Also, the age of your dog also plays a factor. Many puppies just want to play when cats would rather not. For older dogs it often takes a little re-socializing to get the two to get along (a few of them might actually want to play though).
