Friend or Foes

Being the only Dachshund and in fact only dog in my household may have advantages in terms of being spoilt and getting extra attention but there are unfortunately some family members who however hard I try for some reason I cannot win over, namely the four cats I live with. These grumpy, anti-social animals are never keen to engage in a game of chase and on a couple of occassions now have sadly managed to scratch me. Any suggestions on how to befriend these bullies would be much appreciated as for some reason however mean they are I just cant help but find them fascinating and long to be part of their gang.
