Many people think that cats and dogs don't get along, but, given time most do. Your cat obviously isn't use to having a dog around and probably will defend their domain. The best way to introduce the dog to the cat is to leash the dog and hold it close to you. Cats may hiss, arch their backs, but they are always curious. Take your time with the two of them. The dog will be more apt to be apprehensive for good reason. You can also put up a folding gate between a doorway to keep the dog on one side and see how the cat and dog react. Most cats may hiss and arch their backs, but seldom ever get into a brawl with a dog unless the dog backs them into a corner and even at that cats rules and one good swipe from the cat will put the dog in it's place.

Is there a difference between dog and cat years?
Yes, there's a difference between cat years and dog years. What we call "dog years"(to calculate a dog's "human" age), is simple. For every human year a dog has lived, that's 7 "dog years". So a 2 year old dog is 14 dog years, while a 5 year old dog is 35 dog years. A cat's age is a little more tricky. Different sources vary slightly, but this is the most common way. The first year of a cat's life is 15 "cat years". Then you add 9 "cat years" for the second year, so a 2 "human year" old cat is 24 "cat years". For every "human year" after that, you add 4 "cat years". An 8 "human year" old cat would be 48 "cat years". "human year" = 365 days, one revolution around the Sun "cat year" = the comparative "year" for a cat based on milestones, such as walking, sexual maturity

How do you introduce a newborn puppy to a cat that has been in the family for years?
AnswerWell, first you have to restrain the dog not the cat. You get cat treats ( you can buy them at PetSmart and somebody holds the cat while the dog is in its kennel or crate. Any time the cat or dog acts friendly or doesn't bark or hiss you give it a treat. Hope I helped.

How can you stop cat and dog from fighting?
Despite the cliché about fighting like cats and dogs, it's perfectly possible for the two species to live happily under one roof. However, it's also possible for a cat to injure a dog, and for a dog to seriously hurt or even kill a cat. To keep everyone safe, separate your new dog and your resident cat at first; then introduce them carefully.
