I promise it will get better. I had the same problem a few months ago when I brought Lady home. I had also posted the same question as you. I had the same problems, Jager would growl at Lady all the time and even went to swat at her a few times and he isn't declawed. It will take some time, Jager (my cat) is finally learning to accept Lady, but I still do not trust them alone together. My best advise for you, from what I did. I had Lady in the kitchen behind a gate and Jager had the run of the house, in time Jager started going over there and just checking everything out. This way the cat can get used to the dog without the dog being right in the cats face. Then from time to time let them out together BUT really watch them, this is what we did and finally now everyone is getting along, though Lady does still annoy Jager from time to time, but shes learning cause when he goes to chase her she'll run and hide under the couch. Jagers is a lot bigger then her. Its all about time and patience. |
