My puppy has been home for a month now. We spend nearly all of our time in the living room on the main floor. Despite the availability of all the necessities in the basement, my cat prefers to stay upstairs in my room. Because she hates going downstairs, she has popped up in my room a few times. If she wakes up in the morning, she will go to the basement, but not the other way around. We might want to change their living arrangements for a while.

We recently got a new puppy, we have a 9 year old small female dog, a 10 year old male cat, and a 2 year old male cat. The youngest cat isn’t handling the new puppy well. The puppy hasn’t bothered him at all an yet he tries to attack the puppy, the same cat has also attacked our other dog which he has never done before. Any suggestions?

I tried to introduce a 14 week old cocker spaniel to my cat who is about 10, he quite often kills rabbits and I am very worried he will kill the puppy, When we had a first introduction he hiss and went the puppy to try to attack him and worse, he had to be beaten back and it was very traumatic. I dont know what to do to be honest.

It’s been a month since I’ve brought my puppy home. He’s kept on the main floor living room, where we spend most of our time. The basement is outfitted with all my cats needs but prefers to stay in my room which is on the top floor. She does not like to go downstairs because the pup will see her so she’s popped a couple times in my room. She will come up from the basement in the early hours of the morning but not the other way around. I’m thinking of trying to switch up their living arrangement for a bit.

My 5 year old male tabby rushes at the puppy play pen. We have only had our new 11 week old puppy since last Wednesday. Our cat seems to be teaching our puppy who’s boss. Puppy is only 2.5 kilos and the cat is 8.1 kgs. He is a house cat. Puppy is a male bischon frise. He can’t live in the playpen forever. Can you please help me? Thank you in advance.

I am thinking about getting a puppy. We currently have a year old indoor cat. I am concerned the cat will go outside with the puppy having to be let in and out of the house for the bathroom. What is the best way to ensue this doesn’t happen?

We recently added a jack Russell pup to our family that includes a flame point Siamese. The pup is a female, the cat, a male. They get along well the only problem is with potty training the puppy who is 4 mos old. She’s just not getting it and I’m wondering if the cat litter box is confusing her. Do you have any info that you could pass on please?

Thanks,
