You might try a different approach, one that I have found works with new introductions. First, put the kitty in a room with a door, and let it have free run of the room...for two days or so. That gives everyone a chance to get used to the new smells. Then, let one dog at a time in, in a very supervised setting...with you very close to the dog...a few times a day. Switch dogs, same thing. I would think by week's end, things should be ok. I do not recommend quick introductions- even IF the animals lived together at one time before. It really isn't fair, and can be quite damaging to the cat's character to confine it in a towel while big dogs (to her, they are probably considered big) sniff her....

I would do that but I still live with my parents and Dad would have a fit if he knew there was another animal in the house.
I wasn't trying to damage the cat's character by putting her in the blanket, it was more of a way to protect me than it was anything else. I'm not trying for a quick intro that's why I'm bringing her over a day or two outta the week (while Dad's at work) to get her use to Bull (and being an only kitty cuz she lives with her sister at my aunt's) instead of all of us moving in together and all of a sudden there's this new house AND this big strange dog to deal with. I was only looking out for Isis cuz I didn't want to tramatize the poor kitty by taking her away from what she thinks as her home and her sister and put her in a new house with a new dog. I thought that might be a little much to deal with at once.
