cat-and-dog-togetherDogs and cats are often territorial and will fight any new animal in the house. They tend to mark their territory and will fight anyone who invades their space.

Making cats and dogs to coexist can be hard and requires both time and patience as both to adjust to something new.

Make sure that both pets have the time to coexist.  Cats have the tendency to be aloof and stay away from the dog and other people.  It’s not because they are afraid of the dog but more because it’s their nature to be alone.  Be sure that they see each other as often as possible.  You can do some activities with both your cat and dog at the same time.   For example the so much awaited walk by your dog could become a whole family fun.  Get outside, walk your dog and stroll your cat, allowing them to be together whenever is possible.
