Wish I could help, Teddy who weighs just over four pounds cannot win the affection of my cat who weighs just over ten. I could never let them fight it out. For one, my cat has claws. Two, the interaction really stresses Teddy which has led him to marking my house. I don't know what the answer is besides considering an behaviorist. Perhaps some advice from a professional will help. If you call your local rescue shelter, they will have a behaviorist recommendation because they will use one in order to ensure the animals at the shelter are adoptable. It is worth a try to see if you can get some advice even over the phone. There are probably other reasons your girl is aggressive and the cat just happens to be the perfect target to take it all out on...
If you can get these other reasons, or figure out why the dog and cat clash, you'd have a more peaceful household, I'm sure! In the mean time, it would be a good idea to keep them separated. |
