Question
How can I get my 3 year old cat used to our new 6 month old puppy?  The puppy doesn't seem hostile, but typically puppy-ish, which is scary to the cat.  We keep trying to introduce them.  But no luck. Amy

Answer
Hi Amy,

I'm really sorry, but I have no personal experience with introducing cats and dogs.  However, I can refer you to an excellent site with experts in various areas of pet care and specific animal forums.  The name of the site is www.Practical-Pet-Care.com (I'm a cat expert and an administrator, there) and the Cat Forum is at:

http://www.practical-pet-care.com/cat_forum.php

You could ask the question there and/or on the Dog Forum:

http://www.practical-pet-care.com/dog_forum.php

Hopefully, if you post your question there, you'll get some good advice.

Good luck!
