You can tell if your dog likes your new kitten by observing their body language and behavior. Signs that your dog may like the kitten include wagging tail, relaxed body posture, and gentle interactions. It's important to supervise their interactions and give them time to adjust to each other.
You buy a dog.
ask it!
To help your dog adjust to being fixated on your new kitten, you can gradually introduce them to each other in a controlled environment, provide positive reinforcement for calm behavior around the kitten, and give your dog plenty of attention and exercise to redirect their focus. Consistency and patience are key in helping your dog adapt to the new addition to your household.
To help your dog adjust to stress from a new kitten, create separate spaces for each pet, gradually introduce them, provide positive reinforcement, and give your dog extra attention and reassurance.
It could have been by accident. It's not like a dog woul think, "Oh hey look a little new born kitten. Lets go hurt it." The dog may have been trying to play with it or thought it was a new kind of toy.
The behavior you describe does not make me think that you dog wants to eat your kitten. Typically if a dog is going to kill a cat and they get that close it would be a done deal. They don't usually mess around with licking.
she doesn't have any dogs she has a new kitten named Meredith
Dogs are social animals and may see kittens as part of their pack. Your dog's obsession with your kitten could be due to a desire to protect, play with, or establish dominance over the new addition to the household.
The kitten is probably trying to tell weather this new stray is a dangour to her/him. The kitten maybe staring so that she knows where the stray is and knows she/he can run away or be ready if the stray starts to approach her/him. It coud be curiosity.
He likes you.
