And it's going shockingly well. I found a baby gate works beautifully for separating them. The cat can easily jump over but the dog can't

    "Let the animals interact naturally" could end up with a cat being killed so fast you won't have time to intervene. These are very cute videos but misleading because many dogs will kill a cat, especially if it runs from them. And saying the separation period "should not be too long" is vague and useless, since "too long" can be interpreted many ways.

    Getting a lab puppy in a few months, but I already have a 15 year old cat. He’s very calm and loving, but becomes very stressed and depressed whenever another animal is inside the house, so I try to avoid it as much as possible. I’ve my mind set to pay just as much attention to my cat as I always do when I eventually get the puppy. I will also make sure that his favourite spots on the window ledges and such remain inaccessible to the puppy. Hopefully the size of the lab won’t be as alarming if my cat sees him as a baby, but I can’t be sure. I will probably get some calming pheromones once the time comes. Anyone else have any ideas? I’m quite nervous, because I really want my lads to, if not like each other, be able to relax whilst living in such close quarters.

    My cats think my service dog is their mom, they are absolutely obsessed with her. My husky is just as affectionate, she acts like the cats are her puppies. Personally, I think she's smart enough to realize she's spayed and she sees cats as substitute puppies, while the cats just love the big, fluffy, and warm husky 😹

    This results me to shouting at him as I thought it would make him understand that chasing the cat is bad. But once I watched the video I under stood that positive reinforcement is helpful in these situations!

    I have 2 cats (Axl 4yrs & Rose 3yrs) and have just introduced a puppy (Ronnie 8wks) into the family. My cats have 2 opposite personalities, Axl is very timid and hot headed whilst Rose is very playful and sociable. Rose is much more interested in Ronnie than Axl is. Axl will straight away hiss and run if puppy is active, if puppy is asleep, he will stay in the same room but will still be a little cautious. Rose has been in the same room even touched noses with the puppy, it’s just puppy wants to play and so there has been times when Rose has entered the room without us knowing and Ronnie has chased after her which has now caused Rose to start hissing and growling which is the opposite to what we want.... what advice would you have for us?

      yes but it might take a little longer since the animals have a pattern of behaviour and associations attached to each other, following these steps or variations of them based on your life style and animals should create new associations and patterns of behaviour you just need you break the old ones before you can create the new ones which is where the extra time comes in

    I really want to get a dog, but we have a cat... Problem is, we got the cat when she was about 12 weeks from a foster system at a Petsmart. Since then, she's stayed indoors at my house for about a year, and no one except me and my parents have come into my house (long story short, we never have visitors). A few months ago we had to go on vacation for a week, so my grandmother came over every day for about a week before we left, to try and get along with the cat. First encounter and she hid the whole time, but by the third encounter she was able to pet her easily, and after the vacation she would sit in my grandmother's lap. So I guess what I'm getting at is: is my cat socialized enough for a dog, or is it a big no, or is it a 50-50 shot? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    • @jessicar2431

      when you adopted the cat from the rescue your cat is #1 priority. If she is already very shy or nervous around people, good chance she won't like a dog coming into the picture. If for some reason you end up getting one, I would only get a puppy you have a better chance of them getting along and the dog not attacking the cat (you can introduce older pets, some will get along and some wont but you may have a better chance bringing a young puppy in. Get a breed known to be good with cats possibly Pomeranian, golden retriever and introduce them slowly, Swap scents, positive reinforcement when good, teach puppy boundaries i.e. not to play to intensely as this could scare the cat or the puppy could learn rough play is okay & maybe take it too far one day and kill the cat worst case scenario. If you happen to get a older dog and not puppy who is intensely staring, barking, fixated, intensely licking lips/whining, lunging or growling.. I would be careful as this may not be a good fit/dangerous and would need proper training with a expert & ensure they are in separate rooms when not supervised, and will need to go slow introducing until both are able to to around each other calm, relaxed. I also adopted a cat from pet smart and I believe some of those cats/kittens have already had a rough life, you owe it to that cat who you rescued to a good a happy life. All in all I hope all works out, but keep your cat priority.

Can anybody suggest an animal that might be good for Snickers so he won't be so lonely or if I brought a kitten in here if our little girl would mother her because she is so shy.

    My boyfriend has a dog and I have a cat and we’re going to move in together but as each of the animals are currently with our respective parents, we’re flexible about the timing for the move in. I have found many video giving tips on how to introduce them, but none says if there is a preferred order in which which animal moves into a new place first (or if at the same time is best).
    My worry is that introducing one animal into the home a few days before the other will make that animal very territorial and maybe less accepting of the other. However, introducing them at the same time means especially for my cat that he will feel scared of the dog AND the new home, so double the stress. Any tips?

    • @sarapatao1979
      @sarapatao1979 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      When you move in, keep the dog and the cat in separate rooms and let just the dog out to meet the house. Then do the same with the cat. This will make so that the dog and cat can get comfortable with their surroundings without the added stress of meeting a new animal. Make sure each animal can be outside of their rooms for a few hours a day. Because both animals will be walking around the house at separate times, they will notice eachother's smell and know that there's another animal around. Don't do this for longer than a day or two. After this, you can start to slowly introduce eachother, following the tips from the video.

My dog tried so hard to be calm and approach slowly but she got too excited and would chase my cats. It took like a year for them to really get along. But we also kind of did it wrong. My dog loves everyone so I’m not worried about her getting along with it as long as the cat has met a dog before. We’ll see how my one remaining cat reacts. It’s kind of a toss up.

    Child animals get along pretty easily.
    Ducks, cats, deer, dogs, cows, and birds imprint on others.
    They tend to lose their instincts when they are not a part of their original species.
    Humans are care takers, we have the ability to give compassion to the entities in need.
    If you see an animal, and you are not in need of sustainment, help it and let it pass.
    If an animal needs help, keep it safe.
    Growth and safe harbor leads to a better world.

    So I’ve got a pit bull terrier mix who’s about two years old but he’s dog aggressive and I’ve talked my mom into letting me bring him home; however we got two cats, I’ve watched other videos and I think I’m ready to bring him home, anyone got any advice?

      The cats would be way more agressive trust me, i had to introduce my pit with my cat.
