Thank you all for the advice...I will definitely give some of it a try. Maybe the yelling louder will be helpful?

Also, I could never let them fight it out...I don't think my cat knows he has claws? All he has to do to upset her is walk by her. He has never even hissed at anything. Maybe he doesn't realize hes a cat but whenever my yorkie does attack him the only thing he does is cry and curl up in a ball...he never hisses or swats at her or anything like that.

I have been doing research and because I got my cat after my yorkie, she could think that he is "below" her. I've been more stern with her, by verbally warning her whenever she is doing something wrong so hopefully she will soon realize that I'm the mommy and the one in charge...not her.

Thank you again all!!

p.s. and when I spank her it's not like a real spank more like a tiny tap that doesn't even make noise...I would NEVER EVER even think about hurting my baby. The taps are so tiny and that's probably why they have never really worked...regardless I will stick to loudly and verbally reprimanding her instead to see if that helps.
