I have had my 10 wk old kitten a week and i have a staff bitch who is 5yrs old,we have never introduced a kitten to her so have given it a go,i was so suprised that the kitten growled so loudly {hes a mainecoon persian cross }the dog licked her lips a lot, which worried me and set there shakein i think because she didnt no what to do,the kitten hissed spat etc,he was raised with jack russels so thought he would have been better,dont no what o do about the poor dog,should i just take it slowly,a few mins a day,scared she might eat the cat,my staff sky is the most placid dog i have ever known never barks usless guard dog will go with any one,but shes not likein the kitten,any help on how i can get them to entertain each other would be very very helpfull

I'd be careful firstly.

Let the dog have a blanket to sleep on, and the kitten as well, and swap them over so they can both smell each other.

When I introduced my dog into the house with a resident kitten she proceeded to crap in every single room we had, we then confined her to one room for a few days and they were fine after that but he was a puppy (born on the same day).

Just don't leave them unattended, and let him sniff her through the safety gate but try not to stress out the kitten
