Dogs and Cats 12 Tips When Introducing A New Dog To Your Cat
from:1. Isolate the cat in a separate room for a week or more. If no room is available for her, use a crate big enough for the cat, food and water bowls, toys, and a litter box. Put the crate in a private location that is away from the hustle and bustle of the house.
2. Spend time interacting with the cat so that she gets to know you and feel comfortable In your presence.
3. Spend time with your dog so that he does not feel he is being abandoned or his territory is being invaded by a new pet.
4. Don't hurry the introduction process. Your pets will be spending their days together for a long time, so be prepared to spend a few weeks, or even months, if necessary, making certain the introductions work.
5. Never force the introductions. Don't take a kitten or cat to the resident dog. Holding them up to one another before they ore ready can cause irreparable harm and prevent the two animals from ever liking each other.
6. Feed both animals on either side of the door to the room in which the cat is isolated so that they can associate something positive with each other's presence.
7. Prior to face to face meetings, rub each of the animals with a towel that has been rubbed over the other to familiarize each with the other's scent.
8. Once the cat is comfortable with you and her room, confine your dog in the cat's room and allow the cat to explore the rest of the house for brief periods of time up to an hour or so. Your dog will be able to learn about the cat by scent while he is confined in the cat's room. While the cat explores your house, spend time with your resident dog so that he continues to feel that the cat poses no threat.
9. When your new cat appears comfortable in the house, conduct the first face to face meeting. Keep your dog leashed and allow the cat to come to the dog. Talk to both in a calm voice. Offer both of them treats.
10. If your dog is interested but not aggressive, allow him to examine the cat. If your dog appears too eager, give the leash a gentle tug and command your dog to sit or stay. Continue allowing both pets to meet on a limited basis until you are confident that your dog recognizes the cat as a member of your family.
11. Give the two animals constant supervision during initial face to face meetings and observe them closely to determine when to give them the space to become better acquainted.
12. Allow the animals to have an occasional spat as long as neither is in danger. A dog's playful bark may alarm a cat the first time she hears it, but the cat will soon learn what it means. A cat's swat of annoyance at a dog that is overly eager may sting the first time, but the dog will soon learn not to be too gregarious in the cat's presence.
