| Please I need a quick answer regarding this Thanks Ok by now you must all know that Royce has separation anxiety whenever i leave for work he starts crying . My neighbor who has a cat suggests that Royce stays with snoops the cat during the day sothat they keep each other company ? What do you think ? Is it a good idea ? Ihave to mention that snoops is a big fat cat one and a half the size of my baby ..do you think the cat will hurt him and scratch his face with his nails??????any experience with leaving a yorkie with a cat???? pls give your thoughts on this. |

| Is he declawed?? Personally, I would not leave my babies with a cat by themselves. Esp a cat that is not use to dogs. Your baby might get to hyper and too into playing with the cat and cats don't usually take very much of that puppy play. JMO. |

| I don't think it's a good idea to leave Royce unsupervised with a cat. I'd be afraid the cat could hurt him, even not intending to. Have you tried leaving an article of your clothing with Royce while you're away? |

| My first questiion would be is he declawed or are his nails cut short? My cat took to all 7 of my dog babies but that doesn't mean they all do. Good luck. |

| Can you take your furbaby to a doggy daycar, during the day? or have some one stay with her while your at work? I dont think leaving your furbaby with a cat, that its not used to, is a good idea. |

| You have to be trustworthy of the cat and sure he won't hurt him. I got my poodle a brother (kitten) and have grown to be the best of brothers and sisters. I raised them both together and it has been one of the best choices I have made. They play together and keep each other company.............I got the kitten at 8 weeks though and had the opportunity to raise them since then.

| Unless the cat was raised around dogs..don't think I would. Maybe try you and pup "visiting" them many times before you acutally leave them together. This way they can socialize, and see how they do get along. Pups love to play, and if the cat isn't used to this, could be a disaster, claws or not. |
