Cat Won’t Leave My Dog Alone..

I have two orange tabby cats the I rescued about 2 years ago and a chow mutt that we also rescued shortly after. Ojo (our dog) is awesome he listens very very well and doesn’t bother the cats (cheddar and CJ) at all.. it’s actually the other way around especially with Cheddar... I have to constantly tell them to leave Ojo alone or stop bullying him out of his doggy bed.. it’s mostly at night. I can hear Ojo moving from one spot to another cuz the cat just wants to rub and bite him ( it’s quite cute but I feel bad for Ojo cuz he just wants to be left alone ) I have no idea how to get the cats to leave him be! Please help!

Do you have beds for the cats? If you don't, you might try that. It sounds like Cheddar is looking for a comfy spot to sleep in and Ojo is in the way.

If the cats are looking for a toasty spot to curl up in, another thought is plugging in a heating pad and set it to low and leave it in another spot away from pooch, not recommended if any of the pets have an affinity for electrical cords

Oh the cats have all kinds of stuff lol beds, cat tree, scratching posts.
I’ll definitely try the heating pad under their bed, that’s a great idea.

Lol I honestly don’t think it’s that, Cheddar will purposely get out of his bed (or where ever he’s been napping) and just go up to Ojo (whether hes in his bed or not) and just rub all over him! It’s like Cheddar is saying “please like me dog” lol

Perhaps Ojo would appreciate being in his own room or enclosed space for the night?
