Hi,

we have had 2 cats, both boys for 2 years now. We bought 2 cocker spaniels pups on Saturday and since then the cats have not been best impressed.

The dogs dont mind the cats in the slightest but the cats are very warey of the pups and seem to just stay up stairs or go out. They dont seem to be eating properly or being themsleves. We feel very disheartened that we are upseting the cats, and dont want them to run off.

What can we do????

Give them more time, two days really isn't very long!

I am in the same boat as you, my Molly Cocker Spaniel is 10 weeks old now, we have had her 2 weeks, I have a cat called George who is not happy at all. We have a cat flat in the kitchen door and two weeks before Molly came we put one in the side garage door and started to feed George in there, put his bed in too.

Molly tried to sniff George once or twice but George just spits at her, now Molly just sits looking at George. George goes upstairs most of the time, Molly is not allowed up their. Slowly George is getting a little more brave by walking throught the front room to get to the kitchen.

Talking to some guys at work who have dogs and cats too say the cat always rules the roost so to speak and eventually they will come around. It all takes time.
