Dogs & Cats Living Together
Though dogs and cats area traditionally viewed as
adversaries, they can actually make great companions for one another. Bringing a feline into a canine household-or
vice-versa-can be trying for both animals and owners, so
here's a technique worth trying:
Keep your dog on a leash and give him food treats for sitting quietly as the cat walks by. This way, you're rewarding Fido for non- predatory behavior. Be sure to keep your cat's claws trimmed, so that if trouble does arise, it can't do much damage to the dog.
"Most cats are not shy about letting their people know what they want."
~ Karen Duprey
Make sure to adhere to a regular routine when caring for and interacting with your cat. Deviations from normal routine on the part of your pet may be the first warning sign of a health issue. You will be able to spot trouble right away enabling you to take prompt action.
