Thread: My MC cat and German Shepher pup...

That is good news! I think it helps when one or both kitty and puppy are young and grow up around each other. My mom has a Shih Tzu and a Doxie and sometimes they come to visit. Maggie (ST) used to be a cat bully until she met our Bengal mix. One claws-out swipe on the nose and now they are friends and even play with each other. My two MC's stay in the room but high up on the cat tree or tables when the dogs are here, especially Mad Max. Bengal and Max get along, she must be some kind of dog whisperer (or else she is too threatening and the dogs won't test her patience lol!) Mandy and Merlin avoid Max, and Sampson sits in a corner wide-eyed and quivering until he leaves. We have considered getting a large breed dog for protection, but for now we rely on the alarm system because I simply cannot be home enough to care for a dog, and I don't think our cats would be happy either. :-/
