we got a kitten on Friday. brought it home in a cat carrier.....slowly brought it into room and let dog sniff at it. got kitten out of box and while holding it introduced it to dog. twice the dog sniffed and then lunged for it (dp's quick reactions saved the day).......
currently i am keeping the kitten in our bedroom and dog in the living room.........all advice i have read/been given suggests keeping them apart and slowly introducing but my dog just doesn't seem to understand kitten is not a toy.
dog is 10 years old, collie cross and quite jealous............we have baby due in sept and am wondering if we will have similar jealousy problems with that too...
sorry i seem to have rambled a bit...........any suggestions would be very welcome.
