A Yorkie and a Cat? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

hunniebunnie · 03-21-2006, 02:28 AM

my brother's girlfriend has 3 cats and we're trying to get them to play with bunjee as well.

meow-meow, the 2 year old cat is a bully. he's always trying to chase or swat/punch bunjee's face if bunjee gets close enough. bunjee still gets curious, but will mostly avoid meow-meow or just bark at him from a couple feet away.

tom-tom, the 1 year old cat is a scardy cat. he'll hiss at bunjee when bunjee gets close, then run away to hide behind the sofa. no one will see tom-tom again until bunjee leaves.

tangerine, the 10 month old is curious. compared to the cats, bunjee is hyper and very vocal. tangerine, like the other cats, will look at bunjee as if he's crazy. sometimes bunjee and tangerine will be curious and sniff each other, but tangerine is very cautious and has a raised paw just to be on guard. bunjee will be cautious as well, and will do the jump forward, bark, jump back, bark around tangerine. we're really hoping tangerine and bunjee can become good friends. i wish bunjee wasn't as hyper around the cats as he is. 'cause then maybe the cats will be more at ease and less likely to defend themselves against bunjee's curious sniffs.

Well we had pretty good night with Jager. My boyfriend took Lady out and was holding her on the couch while I was on the other end, Jager came over to me all mushy cuddled up with me, knowing Lady was there and seemed ok. Then when he saw Lady moving around he went right over to my bf and cuddled up with him and Jager put his he'd on his lap all while Lady was on the other side of my bf (so of course Jager got lots of attention for being so good). It really must be a jealously thing with Jager its funny just like a little child looking for the attention, and he is getting lots of it. We are both trying so hard to make Jager comfortable around Lady. So now after all this wonderful progress my bf decided to let Lady down on the floor (with us both watching them) we didn't let her near Jager (he was on the other side of the room). It didn't work out as well as we had thought. Jager kept looking at her then I started to hear the low growls coming from him, he hissed and jumped up (in that cat attack mode). We stoped anything from happening I got up to grab Lady and Jager ran and hid. Hes accepting her when we have her somewhat restrained, he just doesn't;t want her in his space, hopefully in time this well get better, at least we are making some progress.

in my house, you just have to have a VERY tolerable cat... LOL
My cat was grown when we brought Tootie home and "MeKitty" just stays HIGH!
TootieBear just cannot help himself, he gets too excited and the cat just tolerates him... If you take your eyes off them, they are rolling across the floor, quite funny! We also have a safe room for the cat. He has his space in my dauthers room where the puppy cannot go-but then the barking...
