Mom suggested that I get Isis use to Bull and being an only kitty.
So Friday I go pick her up (for those that don't know my aunt is keeping her til I get my own place) and bring her here. She was wrapped up in her blanket when I brought her in, I walk over and place her on the couch. Both dogs rush to see what's going on and sniff the little thing on the couch. Isis freaks and starts hissing and slapping which in turn starts Bull barking. :rolleyes:
Ok, time for a different approach. I pick her back up in her blanket wrapping her up and let Katie sniff without having to worry about claws. All is fine a little hissing from Isis but Katie seemed satified so I move on to Bull. Dear God! Every hiss sent Bull on a barking spree, he seemed afraid to even sniff her. Ok, maybe we need a newer approach. Time for the cat carrier, I put Isis in and shut the door. The dogs came over and sniffed thru slits on the sides. Everything is fine, dogs are calm, cat is calm. I open the door up so if Isis wanted to she could come out. The problem Bull decides to take up camp in front of the carrier and bark to get her out (now he wants to play). So for the last hour or two she was her she spent at the back of the carrier being barked at. (she didn't seem to mind cuz she took a nap)
So I gave up, I'm sure they'll grow to like one another but I prolly will have no part in it. Maybe this week's visit will be better. ;)
