Answer

\(\boxed{6}\) dogs in total. After Jane gives me 5 cats, she has \(\boxed{11}\) more cats than I do.

Step 2 :Find the new number of cats for Jane and me after she gives me 5 cats: Jane - 5 = 18, Me + 5 = 7

Step 3 :Find the difference in the number of cats: \(18 - 7 = 11\)

Step 4 :\(\boxed{6}\) dogs in total. After Jane gives me 5 cats, she has \(\boxed{11}\) more cats than I do.
