My cat keeps chasing my arthritic chihauhau. Any advice?
She’s only playing, but the dog is afraid of her.
Declawing is not an option for her b/c my family and I find that inhumane
The cat is actually a year older than our dog. We can’t rid of the cat b/c she is my older brother’s pride and joy.
I Used To Suffer But Not Anymore!
I began
searching for information on natural remedies, alternative
medicine, and anything I could find. I had actually tried
searching for this information years before, and found nothing
relevant. Then
one day I found a source of information that led to another
source, and so on. It was the break I had been looking for!
Despite having read over and over that arthritis was "incurable"
and that people with arthritis had to learn to live with
it for the rest of their lives, I found hope. Out of all
the informational sources I found, I learned that people
with arthritis had been curing themselves all these years! What
I learned was that there were four (4)
different methods that were used to cure arthritis. Each
source mentioned only one method, though. Some gave importance
to one method and briefly mentioned some of the others.
What I also learned was that some people got relief by using
one method more than another. So what
I did was combine ALL 4 methods into one
program , and by applying just one
of the initial methods, I
became totally pain-free in 3 days!
Buy Soft Paws claw caps at the pet store and put them on. This eliminates scratching but allows the claws to stretch normally. Keep an eye on them so that when one comes off you can replace it. They last a few weeks or a couple of months, though the first time they may not last as long.
This should level the playing field between the cat and the dog; they both have teeth. The cat knows this, and the dog probably won’t have to use his.
And squirt the cat when it misbehaves too.
Put them in seperate rooms.
declaw it
separate them. It s not fair to your dog
keep the cat outside and the dog inside then switch when you feel nessecary
By keeping them separately.
The behaviour of the cat is natural.
Find a way to separate both of them by making sure they are not together.
usually it’s the other way around…. poor doggy
seperate them… get a kitten to distract the cat… spray the cat with a water bottle or declaw mr. kitty
hahaha…my cat does the same thing to my dog. it’s terrible isn’t it? but i don’t know how to make my cat stop. if you figure it out tell me too!
invest in a water pistol! everytime puss attacks the old one squirt it. works for stropping etc. too.
Isn’t that backwards? Just kidding… but seriously. But is your cat neutered or spayed (depending on the gender obviously)? This normally calms them down. Also declawing discourages this.
AIVAF
You can’t, the cat is a bully and the dog is infirm. I would get rid of the cat, it is cruel to the dog since it can’t defend itself…that is my two cents worth!
Get a squirt bottle and spray your cat each time he/she attacks. Cat will back off in a hurry.
We use the spray bottle all the time. Works like a charm, and doesn’t harm them.
