Is it possible to make friends between a cat and a dog: even adult pets will be comfortable
There is an opinion that a cat and a dog can become friends only if they grew up together under the same roof from birth.
Experts disagree with this and advise taking into account the characters and characteristics of animal breeds. But there is a way to make it possible for two pets to coexist under one roof.
How to make a cat and a dog friends
So, we have already considered the first method - to get a kitten and a puppy at the same time. During the time they grow up, the animals will get used to each other.
Adult animals can be trained in approximately the same way.
1. During the first meeting, keep the dog on a leash and the kitten in a carrier.
2. Give the animals time to get used to foreign smells. This will take more than one day, and maybe even more than one week. Therefore, it is better to keep the cat and dog in different rooms.
3. Let the animals meet. The duration of the meetings will be determined by the animals' reaction.
4. If you have to accustom an adult cat to a puppy, it is better to allow the cat to watch the dog's actions from somewhere above.
5. If both pets are adults, then you need to take into account the character of the cat.
It is believed that dogs are not in the mood for conflict, and cats are simply taking a defensive position.
But that is precisely why addiction can take more than one month.
It is desirable that the first meeting take place at a distance and with maximum precautions.
Only when the animals have become accustomed to their fate can new steps be taken.
