Well, one more comment about my cat and our Yorkie. I thought that they would get along better before we got our puppy frankly. The cat usually hides from anyone or anything new. And the first few days she did hide. But after about a week, she got gutsier and came out of hiding. Then the fun began. The puppy wanted to play and challenges the cat all the time, barking in her face and nipping at her heels. So now the cat retaliates by waiting until the dog isn't prepared and tries to swat the puppy whenever we're not looking. She'll hiss at her and then for no apparent reason go after her. So we have to be on our guard to make sure puppy doesn't get sliced and diced. The cat is an inside/outside cat, so she has sharp claws unless I have just cut them.
So be prepared. There may be more fireworks than you think. But again, you'll be there, so you can referee. |
