I know this is a stupid question but has anyone had a dog kill their cat? I know they chase eachother. There are alot of dogs and cats that get along great and love eachother! I am asking because I am thinking of adopting another cat.
However, I have 3 dogs and 1 cat already. The cat never saw a dog prior to my adopting Scooby and Shaggy. Now they "Co-Exist" with eachother but don't get along. Scooby and Shaggy BOTH act like they like cats. Dirtnap barks at the cat and will block her in a room. He will lay on the stairs so she can't go down them.
I tried to adopt a kitten last year. I introduce it to Scooby. He sniffed it and then tried to bite it's head off!!! I had to ask if the kitten was free if Scooby had bitten it's head off! I felt Scooby may have been trying to pick it up by the scruff of the neck and NOT trying bite. Any which way I wasn't going to keep holding a kitten with claws very much longer!
The cat doesn't know it is a cat so I am not sure how it would except a kitten. Most likely I would have to get a full grown cat. I just want to adopt a cat so Miss Thang won't feel outnumbered and has a friend just like her. She is 9 years old and stuck in her ways.
So do ya think it would be okay to adopt another cat and it be safe? I can separate them if necessary but I want everyone to atleast co-exist. Thank you.
