first timer Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 We are picking up our new lab puppy next week, and Im a little worried how our cat will react to him :/ What are the best ways to introduce them?? Should I do it slowly and in short intervals?? Any help would be great thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I would be making areas where the cat can go and hide and get away from the puppy easily. You might do this by baby gating off certain rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs tornsocks Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Another idea for when you first intro them is to have some kind of barrier but one they can see through (wire/pen/baby gate etc) just so they can suss each other out but give the cat the best opportunity to get away. If it's an adult cat I daresay it'll tell the pup who's boss pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
