I have a 3 yr old Tonkinese cat, Misty Blue, that weighs about 8 pounds. When I first brought Abbey home Misty Blue hid under the bed for a week. Whenever the puppy went under there, she would just hiss at her. But, after a week she came out and decided "Maybe this is a new toy", and started to play with Abbey. At first they played so rough I was afraid one of them would get hurt, but now just rough house some of the time. Every night everyone gets in the bed while we watch tv and Misty Blue puts one arm over Abbey and washes her from head to toe. Abbey just lies there quietly...it is their night time ritual. Then they both go to their part of the bed and sleep until Abbey has to go in her crate for the night.
They share toys, chase each other around the house and if Abbey 'has an accident' and misses her pee pads, Misty Blue is right there trying to cover it up. Sometimes I have found Misty Blue in Abbey's crate, lying in her bed.
They really are best friends. Much more so than with our 6 yr old toy poodle. Katie pretty much ignores both of them. I really was surprised at how well they get along.
Who knew?
