So on Sunday, my gf decided to finally introduce her new kitten to Mikie , my dog (1.8 years old male, mixed breed). She got her (Lulu, the kitten) last Wednesday and she was a bit scared and worried about having them meet. Short background on Mikie, he is a very sweet dog but very VERY hyper. Often jumps on people, plays 24/7, you see where I’m going. But he’s also a very shy and timid dog. When he sees people or dogs, he pulls and runs to them but then stays still and like runs always sometimes to later come back. With dogs he lets them sometimes hump him which is concerning but not the issue here lol. Well the frost reaction when Lulu came over and was held by my gf, Mikie just sniffed and sniffed and lulu hissed at him, expected but then he got too close and she hissed very loud and took out the claws. Then he went again to sniff but later she did it again loud and he got a little too scared or excited or idk that he wanted to like jump kinda on her which my gf said wow that was scary and I told her no no you know he never bites or anything. Well he kept sniffing after she sat down and I kept an i on him, he was very excited and all panting and all and after a while before she was going to leave. We did the same thing but this time Lulu was not looking so I said perfect time for Mikie to sniff again and so he did and she didn’t notice, he even started licking her ear but out of nowhere in a split second lulu saw him and hissed very loud again and I was holding Mikie by his collar and when he heard Lulu hissed like that he immediately opened his big mouth and went straight to her head. No growling or anything just immediately jumped to bite her head/neck , mainly head though and I had him by the collar and pulled away almost instantly and I pulled away so hard that even the collar broke off him and he fell to the ground. I got very scared and my girlfriend did too that she took lulu upstairs to my room and was shaking and crying because he went straight to the head. He does not have a history AT ALL of biting, he’s very sweet and good boy that gets in my nerve sometimes lol, but still NEVER aggressive and I got him when he was 8 weeks old. So I never ever let him be aggressive to anyone or anything so I was very shocked and disappointed at him and my gf was too….. does anyone have any idea as to why maybe he did this? Keep in mind that my gf had lulu on her blanket and on her arms all the time at my place. We NEVER expected for this to happen ever… we expected the hissing but not this much… she’s a baby, 8-9 weeks old. I have plans of proposing to her in the next couple of months and you know they will have to live together so how can we fix this… neuter animal is aggressive at all. Help please?

I’ve just recently adopted a six month old kitten. It came from a foster home with dogs and other cats. My boyfriend and I plan to move in with one another in about 10 months and he will be bringing his dog as well. When should we begin introductions? Should we wait until we are all moved in together? Or is there no harm in doing once a week or so introductions at my residence leading up to when we move?

Hey!

I'm looking forward to getting myself a baby Bull Terrier. This will be my first pet ever! I'm so excited about the whole thing but I've never had a pet before. What are the things I should be aware of?

I'm from India (Tropical Climate). Will my puppy be okay in this weather?

Thank you!

Feel free to ask me anything you might want to know about the two of us!

I have a dog (4yo) and my husband have a cat (5yo), we got married and moved in together about a month ago. The dog had interactions with kittens before and he was ok with them as long as they don’t try to take his food. The cat is scared of everything and usually hangs out under the couch is there’s someone new around. Since we moved in together they have been awful to each other, the dog try to chase the cat if she comes out and don’t let her go to bathroom and the cat would hiss and scratch the dog if he comes close to the couch. At night we keep the dog in our bedroom to give the cat some space and I believe she runs around when we take the dog out. However, the cat has stomach issues and she needs the bathroom more often, and she already pooped next to the couch once or twice probably because she’s scared of the dog. We think they are scared of each other and possibly hate each other. Help, how can we make this thing work?? Any one has experience with something similar??

The dog is 11 year old black Labrador, fairly well settled but still has a puppy like curiosity. The cat is fairly new to us, about a week, mature enough to have had a litter of kittens (before we ended up taking her in). She has gone for him once or twice, once or twice he likes to sniff near her and she’s swiped at him. Trying to get them used to each other but looking for tips; can’t keep them separately, don’t want to give the cat up. What can we do?

Both my cats were raised with my beloved departed pug. My pug was older about 13 or 14 when I got each cat as kittens and they got along just fine. well she's passed now the pug and it's been several months. we've decided to get a new puppy because we miss having a dog around. I'm a bit nervous since like a week ago my neighbor came over woth his dog and his dog walked into the house and my 1 cat attacked it hard-core and she got me too because I was just standing there. I plan to slowly introduce them behind doors first like every article suggests. since this has happened though I've had major anxiety shes gunna be mean to the puppy forever. She never once hurt my pug even cuddled woth her, but she didn't miss a beat attacking my neighbors dog. If slowly and properly introduced they should get along as well as she did with my pug right?

Need a little advice... My 7 year old cat suddenly became really aggressive towards my service dog in training... She'll be calm and happy one minute and aggressive and hissy the next... I know it's not because my puppy is doing anything to her because she's usually asleep in her kennel when the aggressive behavior from my cat starts... I have had the cat for 7 years since I found her in my garage at 2-3 months old.. she gets along really well with my other 2 cats and normally ignores the pup... I got my puppy back in November and have been teaching her how to properly treat the cats since day one (and for the last 3 months it's just been a sniff to say hi then she usually will walk away).. my 3yr old cat is nervous around the pup (likely because she's never seen a dog bigger than a Chihuahua except for the current pup) but won't run or react with pup nearby...and my 1.5 year old cat is nearly best buddies with the dog... But for some reason within the last 2 weeks my oldest cat has begun reacting aggressively.

... Can anyone help me find out why the aggression has started or how to lessen it?
