We recently agreed to adopt a 2 year old female Jack Russell. However, we have two cats a 3 year old female and a one year old male. I would love to hear any advise, suggestion, ideas on how to have a smoothe transition.
Many thanks & please advise |

Good Luck..being that the cats are young it should hopefully be easier..jack russells are typically hyper and the cats may find her intimidating..especially if she chases them..you'll want to make sure your cats still feel comfortable around the house..perhaps a large crate for the dog when your not home..also keep the litter boxes in a place where the dog cant get to them (dogs think that litterbox holds the most delicious treat)..however, if possible dont move the litterboxes from the places they are now, or you could have a problem with the cats urinating out of the box..sometimes they will even do this to show that they are angry or upset..also consider keeping the cat food out of reach of the new pup..they tend to like cat food too..just make sure to continue to give your cats lots of extra attention and love..who knows perhaps they will become friends one day!
Best of Luck! |
