Yes, they see it as a little mouse. Something to play and bite. Cats usually play to rough with puppies. Dont trust them alone with your little ones until they are old enough to defend themselves.

If you buy a dog when its a puppy, the cats will not be afraid. The dog will try to attack, but the cat will stand up to the dog. Therefore respect is made!


I have a jealous cat over a new puppy. What should I do to help with the situation?

Usually kittens will get on better when introduced with a new puppy than a mature cat, but if this happens its easiest to give the cat and dog their separate spaces and let the cat decide when it wants to meet the puppy, or at the very least just tolerate it.Added: Because the cat was there first you must establish the role of the puppy. To the cat the puppy is low, and depending on your relationship with the cat, either you or the cat follow. Always show the cat FIRST affection. That is when the puppy and cat are in the same room, coo and pat the cat first then the puppy. Ignore if the puppy tries for your affection. A puppy right now wont understand exactly but the cat does. in time the puppy will realise the cat gets first priority, this makes the cat happy and also understand that you have accepted the puppy into your group. In time the cat should too. If the cat hisses at the puppy don't punish the cat and don't grab for the puppy, this is seen as you defending the puppy and the sudden movement of the puppy may cause the cat to react aggressively. if the cat swipes the puppy, again do not interfere. The cat is showing the puppy the ranks. Animals will not normally harm extensively a baby animal being introduced to the famil group. As an owner of 8 cats and having to introduce one puppy and 1 yearling dog to them, I have watched first hand the reactions cats make. The biggest order of business to them is: Rank.

It probably won't do them any harm, but it is not the best choice for them, nutritionally speaking. Cat food is higher in protein than dog food and can cause diarrhea. Feed your puppy a good name brand of dry puppy food.
