My cat is the most loving, docile cat ever. When I got Teddy, this did not change but my cat did start to hunt Teddy and what starts out as play quickly gets very serious. Yes, I think cats are hunters and little dogs walk with targets on their backs. The fact that Teddy defers to my cat makes it worse. My cat is now a bully and, therefore, they are NEVER left alone together. All play is supervised and if one becomes too excited or agitated, they are split up and that is the end of it..
I'm not sure getting rid of the cat is the answer. It was, after all, there first..
Only you can decide about that..
However, DEFINITELY DO NOT allow these two to be together unsupervised EVER. As you have just unfortunately learned, leaving them in this type of situation can result in the death of your puppy. |
