Fast forward to Dec. 3rd and insert new 12 week old puppy, Sophie. Ironically, the spoiled cat (Lucas) is the only one that bothers with Sophie. My other two cats...Lil' Boy (male)....will tolerate Sophie, but mostly stays out of her way. My female, Smokey, will have absolutely nothing to do with Sophie and actually has moved herself to our basement (remodeled) and stays there except for at night, when Sophie is in bed with us. This breaks my heart, but there is not much I can do about it. Lucas and Sophie will wrestle and nip each other as if they were litter mates. There's three cats with three different reactions. I wish I had better advice other than to begin to let them spend some time together, supervised, of course. And only if your cat is declawed. If not...I think I'd be a bit nervous too. Good luck! |
Thanks for replying. Firstly, declawing is illegal here in Spain along with several other European countries. So that is not an issue here.
I have as I said not let the two in immediate contact but, close enough for the cat to have himself ready to pounce and spitting fiercely at the pup! The cat has no fear whatsoever and to be frank, hastn,t much time for some humans as well. So we have created a bit of a problem for ourselves, some would say, but life is never easy and we certainly never take the easy options so, unless someone on here come up with a serious contender for "Good Idea of the Day" on this one, we shall just have to play it bit by bit ouselves and hope for the best!
