I am getting a dog this year or the next and I need tips on how to adopt a dog already having a cat. Should I adopt a certain age or breed? Or is it a energy thing, because that's what I've heard and seen but that was when Jackie was around another f
Look for low to medium energy dogs that don't have high prey drive. Many rescue dogs have been in foster homes with cats or have been cat tested and you may look specifically for one of these. A puppy is also an option since it will grow up with Jackie but puppies tend to chew on and chase cats which most cats dislike. Older dogs who have been around cats with good manners are generally more acceptable to a cat. Jackie will likely be afraid of any dog at first and you should not be discouraged if there is hissing and hiding. Make sure to keep the dog on a leash and to closely supervise all interactions until you are sure the two are safe together. It may take a few weeks before things quite down. Jackie will feel more secure if she has a tall cat tree or shelves that she can climb and observe the new dog. This is instinctual and can help her to feel more safe. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi, I have one year old British shorthair male cat. We live in an apartment. I’m home most of the day, and I play with him for at least 20 minutes per day and he goes on walks outside. No matter what I do, he gets bored and nips my feet and knocks t
Romeo sounds like quite a sociable little guy! Since he seems to enjoy a good bit of interaction, it sounds as though he would enjoy the company of another four-legged friend. However, bringing another animal into any home is always a bit of a gamble, as there's never a guarantee that the two animals will get along or have similar socialization needs. If you decide to bring home another pet (cat or small dog), it might be worth investigating if you can have a trial week with the prospective new pet to be sure that Romeo gets along with his new companion. A younger cat or dog (under 2 years) would likely suit Romeo's desire for companionship better than an older animal due to their higher energy levels. Expending extra energy typically does help to minimize some attention-seeking behavior, which is likely why Romeo knocks things over and nips at your feet. While the day to day tasks of caring for cats versus dogs differs a bit, I don't think there would be a big difference with respect

Do cats and kittens get along? When I bring my kitten home to my cat and 2 dogs,should I have kitten and cat share the same litter box and same food and water bowl? And since my cat has already gotten along with my dogs,do think the kitten will get a
This will depend on the individual animals. A gradual introduction would be recommended for any new additions. Allow them to hear and smell the kitten but not see it, then allow sight but not physical contact and finally, allow short periods of supervised physical interactions until all parties have accepted one another. Ideally, there should be 1 litterbox per cat plus an additional box in a neutral location. Use separate food bowls to prevent food aggression. Provide additional beds, toys and scratching posts to prevent resource protection. A pheromone product, such as Feliway spray or plug in diffuser, may decrease any anxiety or aggression between the older cat and the kitten.

Duke is neutered but bless his heart he won’t stop humping my male cat. Any tips? Thank you in advance
It is likely a behavioral problem and he just does this out of dominance. All you can do is discourage the behavior when it happens and try to provide him with a stuffed animal instead so he might focus on that instead if the cat

Describe the shelter/cage requirements for A dog A horse A rabbit A bird
Dog: I personally recommend that they live indoors, it's safer for them inside and they always will be sheltered from the weather. If the dog is kept outdoors, the kennel needs to be big enough that they can stand in it, turn around, lay down, and stretch out as well as move around. There should be a roof on it, and the sides should be made of a metal mesh to allow air flow. Horse: Typically horses are kept in stalls. A 12x12 foot stall is suitable for a 1000+ pound horse. Rabbit: They are kept in hutches or cages, and the minimum recommended living space is is 12 square feet (1.1 square meters) with the addition of a larger area of 32 square feet for exercise. Bird: They are kept in cages, and it should be big enough to allow the bird to fly freely through the cage and have plenty of room for toys and enrichment.
