Romeo has a problem
| Sun, 12-26-2004 - 12:39pm |
Romeo shares our home with an iguana, ball python and fish and he does great with all of them, however we have added 2 new members to our home, puppies. The playful pups (Rosco and Daisy)just want to play with Romeo but he looks at them like they have lost their minds. Romeo is a loving and accepting cat and has always done well with everything but now he is afraid of the pups and I really want them to get along. When I was growing up we had 2 cats and a dog and they got along very well, they slept together and everything and I would like to get these 3 as close as possible. What can I do to help Romeo learn to accept the newest members of our home.

Thanks for the update.
I'm glad that it's starting to work out for you! My aunt breeds St. Bernards and just got a blue heeler/collie mix puppy. They also have lots of barn cats. Yep, the puppies ALWAYS see the cats and think, "hey, I can play with them." And of course, the cats are like "what the @#!#. another bleeping puppy we have to fend off." At least, that's what I imagine them saying. ;-) Sounds cruel, but one or two swipes will let your puppy know that he can't/shouldn't mess with Romeo and hopefully the pup will "get it". Good luck!
