[Cat2861]

Hi Kristy....I have a question...is your cat declawed or not? I have a cat also who is 5 years old. She came into the household as a baby and with 2 dachshunds in the house. I had to separate them with a baby gate because one. Of my boys wasn't having it. However, as the cat grew she the learned to jump the gate. Hershey the youngest dachshund tried went after her and bite her ( he didn't draw blood or anything) but I believe Roxy (cat) remember it. As she continued to grow she started. Swatting at just Hershey and not Fritz. Fritz was great with any dog or cat. I then was really worried about her nails clawing Hershey (particularly his eye) so I purchase Softpaws for cats for her nails. They are gel nail covers. When my boys passed Roxy was alone for 3 years until we got Remy in March of this year. Roxy sure wasn't happy. She hissed at him, chased him down, etc. Remy wasn't innocent either, he was just doing the puppy thing and running after her too. I started using the softpaws again because I was afraid she would get him in the eye. I had them separated by a baby gate for awhile until they got used to each other. Now they are great with each other. Even though Remy is still jumping in her face, chasing her, kissing her she is so tolerable now with him.

Has anything changed in the household? How old is your yorkie? Is either one of them sick? For right now if I were you I would keep them separated when you leave and no one is home to watch them.
