Hi everyone,
I am picking up my first puppy this weekend. Feeling slightly overwhelmed with everything I need to get for the little guy but I have one major concern. We have a 13 year old cat. We brought my parents Yorkie over (9 years old) and the cat hissed and puffed up every time Windsor went near him. I am home half of the week, but I am worried about the two being alone the other half of the week.

Any pointers on how to introduce the two to each other? Do I let the cat run away and come out when he is ready? I am not sure how to handle the situation.

Thanks! Feeling nervous.
