I have an issue that I don't quite know what the best approach would be. We have an outdoor kitty (she was dumped here about 3 years ago, we can't have cats inside because we have parrots, so we made her a comfy place in the garage with a bed and heater, etc.) Anyway - from the day we brought Widdy home, we wanted them to be friends. Twinkie (kitty) wanted NO PART of that wild, gangly puppy. No matter what we did, she was/is terrified of Widdy. Therefore, making Widdy W-A-N-T THE KITTYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! My question is - have any of you successfully made piece between a cat and dog before?
Their interaction is limited but I'd still like for them to get along. I'm sure part of the issue is Widdy's prey drive is IMMENSE, kitty runs - GOTTA chase it! Dog chases, kitty's GONNA RUN! I've tried holding Twinkie and letting Widdy sniff but I risk being shredded by cat nails and Widdy's obedience is NON-EXISTANT when it comes to that cat! :sadcry: She is INSANE! We've tried everything. And suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
