My cat is terrorizing my puppy!?

Question

My cat that I have had since longer than I can remember but she hates my dog! he is only 4 months old and i'm afraid he is going to be scared of everything b/c as soon as she sees him she tries to scratch him and hisses. He just wants to be friends but she hates him. What can I do? I'm scared she's really going to hurt him

thanks,

Abby

Answer 1

Your cat is being territorial because her space has been invaded by the puppy. The puppy has no idea because he's just being a puppy, curious & all. But the cat wouldn't want anything to do with him, right. She won't hurt him. She's hissing to let him know that she's the boss & she's been here longer than he has. Give time & they'll be bestfriends.

Good luck.

Answer 2

they may never become fast friends but they will come to a sort of detente.
