The dog seems friendly towards the cat but the cat is not. I am afraid my cat will run away - we have had him for 5 years from a kitten.

I just moved my kitten into my new apartment. I live with 5 other people and 1 of them has a dog, which is a rat terrier mix. I have no door to my loft so I put up a gate to keep the dog out and the cat hasn’t yet ventured out of my room without me, mainly because he’s smart and knows a dog is out there.

This is the third night of having him and they’ve seen each other a few times through the gate. The kitten is relatively unresponsive to the dog, mainly hisses if even that. The dog however sits at the gate crying and, when he sees the cat, starts barking and altogether freaking out. The dog is also taking to sitting in front of the gate and crying when he can’t see where me and the cat are.

Any suggestions?

Kinlow asked:


I know there are many considerations to make in choosing the breed of dog that is right for your family, but this is a big one for me. I have two cats with no dog experience and I would really like to see them all get along. Not only do I not want them to fight, but I want them to be friends.

Open to just about any suggestions. We like big dogs, small dogs, everything in between, and active dogs as well as lap dogs. We’re not too picky.

We have five outside dogs, and want an inside/outside cat. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get a new cat used to five dogs? Should we get an adult cat or kitten? For any of you who have both cats and dogs, what is the cat to dog ratio and how did you make it work without the dogs killing the cat?

I got some Advantix at the pet store and was told to keep my cats away from the dogs after I apply it but not for how long. I went online and am frightened to learn the high toxicity of the main ingredient to cats. I already put the stuff on the dogs this morning and I have left them outside but now I am afraid to let them back in. How long is it before it is safe for them to be around my cats again…will it help if I bathe the dogs??

I have beagle and a rat terrier. I have a small white feral cat that I adopted 5 years ago. She is sweet but mostly hides. We got the dogs 2 years ago and she hasn’t reappeared downstairs since. I miss her. I have carried her and held her downstairs and she is freaked out. The dogs are indifferent. When I let the dogs upstairs, they sniff and bow to her in play an go on their way. She holds her ground upstairs on her own with attitude and staring. ( I really don’t think the dogs care that much). How can I get my kitty to enjoy us again?

Me and my husband are thinking of getting a puppy this year, but we are wondering if our two adult cats will be able to share their territory with the new puppy. It will be a pity to get the puppy and realize that our house has become a war zone for good! Any advise on how to introduce the puppy to the cats?
