Re: BPs and other pets?
My Balls ignore the cats, though my Dumeril gets stressed if they are around. I put my dog in her playpen when the snakes are out, because honestly? My dog is the same basic shape and size of most large rats...Chihuahua + Constrictor = NO FUN FOR ANYBODY, or at least that's my theory. 
My Milk Snake just hates every carbon based life form on the planet, me included. 
Now, that being said, my cats LOVE my snakes. They like to sneak in and sleep next to their tubs for warmth. I do what I can to keep the snakes from seeing them though, since while most don't seem to care, I don't want 'em to feel stressed.

Re: BPs and other pets?
When I first got my BP (his cage is in my room), I also had one of my leopard geckos in my room as well. There cages were directly across from each other and anytime I would take Stanley (BP) out of his cage, my leopard would stand there looking at us, wagging her tail (like they do when they eat) and her face almost looked a little bit puffy. I had to move her out of the room because I didn't want her to stress out over it. Haha.

Re: BPs and other pets?
My BP sits on my pit bull's back. The dog looks at him and sniffs him, but after that neither of them care very much.
But I put him on the screen of my rat snake's tank, and the rat did his rattler impression. Python didn't pay him any mind, considering the rat is less than a quarter of his weight XD

Re: BPs and other pets?
My cat watches Monte a little too close for my liking so I have to keep a close eye on her (she weighs about 20lbs) and my dog loves to lick Monte every chance that she gets. With that being said I would never leave any of them alone together unsupervised being as I know the snake would end up losing end of any encounter with either one. I am so bad that I have to check Monte's enclosure before I leave the house if I have had him out or been in his cage at all that day.
1.0 Normal bp (Monte)
0.1 Puggle (Sadie)
0.1 Crazy cat (Koco)
1.0 Husband (Gary)
‘We all operate in two contrasting modes, which might be called open and closed. The open mode is more relaxed, more receptive, more exploratory, more democratic, more playful and more humorous. The closed mode is the tighter, more rigid, more hierarchical, more tunnel-visioned. Most people, unfortunately spend most of their time in the closed mode.’
