I have three cats all larger, one purebred ragdoll and two snowshoes..also purebred....all four years old. The two pups I have came from a house with two himalayans, so they were used to cats. However....My son's cat a larger cat will play with the dogs, no problem. Chauncey my ragdoll basically just ignores them...If they are out we dont see him at all. Then there is Skye, miss b with an itch! Orion will be walking by and claws are out teeth bared, hissing, back up..you name it she's ready to fight. The dogs have learned to leave her alone, or take a wide berth around her. Raellle learned that lesson real quick...Orion...nope, no...he had to keep testing the boundaries. He DID learn what those bounderies were, took him a bit, but learn he did. LOL
Now if Skye is in the family room he says in the kitchen and waits for her to leave...its actually quite comical, seeing as Orion is bigger than she is!
I never left them unsupervised when I first brought them home.
As I type this Skye is in the kitchen just glaring at poor Orion...Raelle is in her cubby hole..she aint coming out til 'that she devil is gone'
It will all work out it just takes some time... |
