Come talk to me about introducing them.
In July we got a rescue dog (approx 2 years old, lab cross)and we had already got a cat. He seemed to get on OK with the cat at first but then completely out of the blue attacked her one day.
The cat stayed away from him and we were going to try and re-introduce them properly after we got back off holiday in September. Unfortunately, the night before we went away, the cat died .
The dog is quite good, but could benefit from some obedience training which I intend to organise soon. He also has an issue with other dogs - it seems to be fear rather than aggression and isn't with all dogs.
Assuming we can sort this behaviour out, we would like to get another cat next spring - probably a kitten.
The dog sleeps in the kitchen at night and ideally a cat would too as the cat flap is in the back door.
Does anyone have any hints and tips on getting a cat when you already have a dog and introducing them etc.
