Chasing Cats

Cats who are not used to obnoxious little puppies may show severe signs of stress after a few weeks of living with the pup. This may present inappropriate urination out of the litterbox, distruction or other symptoms. Watch for this and consult an animal behaviorist if necessary. The best things to do are to obedience train the dog and give the cat time during the day to make his house rounds with the dog away, perhaps in a kennel or other room. In most cases, the cat and dog will become friends or at least learn to avoid each other. In some cases, they can never be left alone. And remember, a declawed cat has no means of protection.
