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.

How do you remove fluid from the chest of a nwborn puppy?

If a pup is born weak or is ignored by its mother, your assistance can save its life. For instance, if a newborn puppy appears cold and weak with irregular or no breathing, hold it firmly and swing it up and down between your legs with its head down. This will help drain fluid from the mouth and lungs. To stimulate breathing, rub the puppy briskly with a warm towel. By blowing gently into its nose and softly pressing its chest with your fingers you can also help induce breathing. When the puppy starts breathing on its own, return it to its mother. If this doesn't work then you should immediately take the puppy to the vets. Even if you manage to get the fluid from the pups chest it's a good idea to have the vet check out the puppy.

How to Approach Puppy Training?

Puppy training is a necessary part of owning a dog if you want to be able to invite the dog into your house or spend time with the dog outside. It is important to begin puppy training the day that you bring your new puppy home. Consistency is the Key Puppy training can be difficult sometimes because it has to be done consistently. Even when the puppy is extremely cute and you know the puppy did not mean to do something wrong, you have to be firm and establish what the puppy is allowed to do and not allowed to do. If you change your rules with no apparent reason, the puppy will become confused and just do whatever he or she wants to do. Training requires clear behavior expectations and rewards for meeting those expectations. A reward can be as simple as a kind word or a good snuggle. Do Your Research Before you bring a new puppy into your home, do some research into puppy training. Learn a few tips to help you train your puppy as soon as he or she enters the house. Puppies are notorious for chewing, biting, barking, and using the bathroom where they should not. If you have already thought about what you will do when the puppy does one of these unacceptable behaviors, you will not be taken by surprise when it happens. Just having a loose plan will help you be more consistent in setting the boundaries for your new puppy. Establish That You are Always in Control It is extremely important that the puppy understands from the day you meet that you are the boss. You need to always have an air of control when the puppy is around. Do not let the puppy make decisions about where you go or what you do when he or she is on the leash, for example. If you remember that you are in control of every situation, the puppy will naturally look to you for how to behave in any given situation. Once your dominance is well established, it will be much easier to commence with some of the more complicated puppy training.
