Hey there! So, introducing a new puppy to an older cat can definitely be a bit of a challenge, but it’s totally doable with some patience and careful steps. Here’s my take based on personal experience. Make sure to give your older cat some space initially and let them observe the puppy from a distance in a controlled environment. I used baby gates to keep them separated but within view of each other. Gradually, allow supervised interactions while keeping the puppy on a leash just to make sure they aren’t too rough with your cat. Also, it’s super important to provide your cat with plenty of high-up places where they can escape and watch the puppy from a safe distance. Providing separate feeding areas and litter boxes is crucial to avoid any territory issues. On top of that, try to keep their first few encounters short and sweet to avoid any stress. Eventually, with time and patience, your cat and puppy may start to tolerate each other, and hopefully become friends! Just remember, every pet reacts differently and it’s all about adapting to their personal needs and comfort levels.
