Your dog needs to be "chilled" in the specific situation of having a kitten in the home. The kitten is highly likely to jump on your dog with claws out, maybe from a height, chew its tail, swat its face etc etc. As Claire says, there is a world of difference between a dog that has been brought up with cats and vice versa and a kitten will behave very differently to an adult cat. It may be some time before you can risk leaving them unattended and you have to be certain that, during the introductory period, no one will ever leave a door or gate open and accidentally enable them to meet when you are not supervising. From your dog's point of view, it will now be competing for resources with the kitten, including your time and attention. This is a situation that needs mucgh careful thought and preparation on all sides. There are very good, downloadable advice sheets available from the Feline Advisory Bureau if you do decide to go ahead: www.fabcats.org |
