[quote=Anonymous]Introduce them SLOWLY. That is the biggest mistake people make: just throwing them together. In my experience, it takes about 1-2 mos.** (esp. if the dog has a higher prey drive). Restrict access. Let them see each other through gates. Make interactions positive for both (petting, treats). They may or may not be BFFs but I've never had it not work out. **sometimes it is faster but let the pets lead that. My most recent cat started jumping the gates to get more freedom. So we let him. But, kept a close eye on things. Now, he likes to torment the one (dumb) dog by swatting and running away. The dog chases. Cat jumps up on something dog can't reach and taunts dog. It's highly amusing.[/quote]
