First off, when we got Allen, our dog at the time also tried to bite his head off. We had to keep them completely separated for a few weeks. Then we slowly introduced them and left them alone onlt after Allen was large enough to take care of himself.

When we got Pouncer, it was a bit hairy at first. Hissing happened a lot. But as with all things, you need to slowly (and painfully ) introduce the new animal. It took us two weeks before Allen and Pouncer were allowed to spend any alone time together. Before, Poncer was in a room himself and then with Allen dueing supervised visits. We must have done it right because my boys LOVE each other immensly (just check out my signature... if thats not two happy cats, then I've never met a happy cat! )

Nicki basically gets along with both boys, though she doesn't trust Allen (with good reason - he likes to jump onto her back and swat at her when she's not expecting it!) She's just now starting to learn that Pouncer won't do that to her, but she doesn't like that he steals her cookies when I give her one.
