Re: Ok, Now I am stressed about the new puppy and my cats

Hi
We have just gotten a new puppy and have a cat. Harry is quite old, but tolerates our puppy quite well. We spent a fair bit of time with the both of them togethor trying to get them used to each other. Is good to do it when both are having quiet time and relaxed. In our puppies UP times, she gets way overexcited whenever Harry is around, but Harry bats her with his paw every now and then and she backs off. She knows Harry's name and therefore we can tell her to leave Harry alone, leave his biscuits alone etc
If our experience is anything to go by, the cats will dominate the puppy to start with and then as your puppy grows will learn to keep away from her.
