I posted this on the dog section no advise hopefully more help on here.
One of my dogs used to live with what can only be described as an alpha cat. He completely ruled the roost and the dog was frankly terrified of him. The cat could go where ever he wanted sleep where ever he wanted eat what ever he and god help any dog or even human who got in his way. The large scar across the dogs nose is a permanent reminder of what happened if you crossed him. Four years ago he was very sadly run over (dog smirks).
We now own a more normal cat whose a nervous cat by nature and has in the past refused to pee due to the stress of living with another cat he's quite cautious of dogs. The dog has decided "never again am I giving up the best seat/food/place in the sun to a bloody cat." So when ever he sees him he growls and leaps at him the cat then runs away although not far this is currently okay becasue they have live in different parts of the house and are separated by a stair gate. But all this is about to change when I'm at home it will no longer be possible to separate them I actually don't think the dog would harm the cat he's all mouth but I think he's going to make the cat exceedingly anxious and unhappy.
Just to add when upset he pees n everyones beds and I'm not prepared to live with this long term as its costing me a fortune washing duvets.
Any ideas?
