意味
Fighting or arguing constantly.
文化的背景
In Serbian households, it's common to have both a dog and a cat, and their interactions are a daily source of entertainment and metaphor. The phrase is used across all ex-Yugoslav countries (Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro) with the same meaning and structure. In villages, the rivalry is more literal as dogs protect the property and cats protect the grain, often leading to territorial disputes. In modern apartments, the phrase is often used ironically for pets that actually *do* get along, as a joke.
Verb Choice
Use 'žive' (they live) instead of 'su' (they are) to emphasize that the fighting is a permanent part of their life.
Don't Pluralize
Even if you are talking about a group of people, keep 'pas' and 'mačka' in the singular form.

No, it's generally considered lighthearted or descriptive, though it might be annoying if said to the people who are actually fighting.
