After a lot of thinking/talking we have got a kitten (have had cats before). We have an 8 yr Labrador and I would like advise on best way to introduce them. We had an older cat when we first got dog and the cat never took to her and moved herself upstairs. I don't want that to happen again.
We have spoken to a behaviour specialist who has given some advise, when the kitten spotted dog his back went up and he started hissing, today dog spotted kitten and growled. At the moment kitten is staying in a room that the dog never goes into.
I really want them to get on and welcome any advise. I want them to be able to be in same room without any problems, the kitten is very cuddly and I want that to continue.
We didn't go into this lightly spoke to many people including vet and behaviour specialist
