I am not a cat person but I do tolerate them when I HAVE to. But, it sounds like that was just a cat being a, well, cat!! The fact that we make such a fuss when something like this happens just re-enforces to our puppies that it really is a big, bad thing. I am sorry to hear it happened and I hope this incident does not create tension between you and BF. I have NEVER seen a cat take to any other animal right away. Doesn't even have to be a dog-they are snotty with another kitty.
At a later date, I would try to work with them to help them find a comfortable existence with each other, especialy if it looks like you and BF are gonna be spending any amoount of time with BF's dad and his cat... |
