| Remy does the same thing, she has never hurt the cat, but if the cat runs she thinks it's a game. The other cat, has put Remy in her place and they have an understanding. I have used the leave it command if she is bothering the cat too much, and she respects that.
If the cats are just sitting there she ignores them, and she and the cats both stay in close proximity...however if the one cat moves she pounces...down on front legs as if to play. |
| Same here - Pooh will leave Christopher Robin alone unless she runs (skampers) by him...however, I think that most times she is playing with him until he gets too close then she meows for her momma to come and save her.
Let them work it out I say. |
| We took in a stray Persian when we had Flash, our first OES. Flash was an old boy and he never chased NiNi. They used to lay in the sun together, the cat curled up against the dogs belly, and take long naps. When we got Beau and Luke they chased the cat but NiNI would get up high so they couldn't get him. The cat would bat at them and they still bat the other dogs. NiNi's been gone for 5 years and all 4 dogs groom themselves after eating just like the cat did. |
| Hi everyone,
I have been reading and just have to put my 2 cents in. I live in a full house with 2 sheepies and 7 cats, but they all live in harmony with one another. It wasn't always like that, especially when Jack and Annabelle were young puppies, they would chase and pounce just like the cats....LOL
When we made a kitty door for them to escape from the young puppies it helped a lot. The cats need a way to get refuge and peace away from a bouncy, playful sheepie. The most thing that helped was creating a space for the sheepies...I guess kind of like a time out space, but we called it a settle spot. We put their toys and a pillow in a secluded part of our living room and taught the dogs the command "settle". When company comes over, they go their settle spot. When they were young and thought chasing the cats were fun, they went to the settle spot. It works great. It didn't take long to teach them to go settle either. When they were young, we attached the leash to the area, and if they tried to leave, we would say "settle" before they reached the end of the leash and when they would come to the end it would make them stop and lay back down on the pillow and we would walk over give a treat and praise of "good, settle" We haven't had to use a leash in a very long time. Now with two BIG sheepies and 7 cats that will spaz at a moments notice we can still keep peace. The sheepies and Raggies all sleep together and are the best of friends. Jack and Annie know that a ball is to chase, but a cat is not. 
Good luck!!
