My Elphaba has been home about 4 weeks now, the cats are 4 years old. They are STARTING to get along. My problem is the puppy wants the cats to play with her and they just think she's annoying. But its getting better. Initially the cats wouldn't come NEAR the puppy and where always sitting up high to get away from her. Now they are back to laying around on the floor occasionally. Puppy runs up to them and barks (she's trying to get them to chase her) but for the most part they just meow back at her or ignore her. Finally this am the one cat did start chasing and they had a BALL.

That said, I do keep a VERY close eye on them all. The cats are WAYYYY bigger than my 2lb 5 oz puppy...and I know they could do damage if they wanted to. I don't let them alone together just to make sure everything is going okay.
