Title: For those who worry about cats not being used to dogs
Post by: Liz on January 15, 2011, 22:37:49 PM

This is Sky and Panther feral cat and this is how bthey sleep most nights only 27kgs seperate their weights and we only touch panther twice a year on his vets visits but he adores the dogs

Panther had never seen a dog till Sky and then sunny and they both adore him and he adores them so careful introductions even with ferals can be a joy to see

The dogs bless them don't lie on the couches or go on the furniture fortunately as the cats won't let them :rofl:

Yes in agreement if introductions are done correctly both cats and dogs can live happily together.  My dogs are allowed on the sofa by the cats to be used as a cat bed by the cats, their own heated sleeping place  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

It's nice for me to see light at the end of the tunnel since we got a cat-tested rescue dog at new year... and introductions had got to the point of both of them pointely ignoring each other with the odd hissing tail like a loo brush just to remind the smelly newcomer who the supreme overlord and boss of the world is... then we had to go away very very rapidly to visit a dying almost-relative (very much a completely adopted family member in all but genetics... essentially more of a father to me than my own one ever was) and the change in routine - it was literally a "run next door to find a cat feeding volunteer, chuck dog stuff and basket in back of car and get on the road within an hour" has completely thrown things back to about square 2 (not quite square 1 where the cat managed to climb up the curtains - not bad for an amputee - then promptly slid straight back down, but still back quite a way).

I know we'll get there - just disheartened by how far it's jumped back... and going to have it all to do again for the inevitable funeral if/when the worst does happen. Thanks for the reminder we'll get there - cos neither of them are getting given up on!
