My cat thinks?

Question

I have a six month old kitty who thinks my chihuahua is a little kitty, how do I get my cat to stop pouncing on him or chase him, I am affraid that my cat is going to scratch my dog's eye.

Answer 1

6 months old is still a kitten , its just playing , theyll grow to accept eachother if they live in the same house together , if your cat does become overly violent to the dog then id suggest giving one of your pets to a relative or friend who can take it.

p.s. a warning to what fae goddess said , do NOT trim your cats claws , take it to the vet to do that , there are blood vessels in their claws and if you cut too far they can bleed to death , please let your vet trim your cats claws or if its a housecat you can declaw it , but do not make that cat go outside ever if you do decide to declaw it because it will get killed by other animals.

Answer 2

Clip the kitten's nails, just in case.

Then, campaign against kitten misbehavior - isolate the kitten when he attacks the dog, tell him firm "no" when he pounces... if the kitten is just playful, there shouldn't be cause for alarm; if he is aggressive, then you should try not to leave the two alone together (just keep them separated when you are out of the house).

A couple of my friends have a (still very young) female boxer, and used to have a cat for a couple of years before that - the dog will still molest the cat, on occasion, but it's more of a game, and they make sure that the cat has a place he can run away to, if the dog's attention is too much. You might want to find some way to do that - a hiding place for the dog where the cat is not allowed to / cannot go (although it's the more difficult version), just so that you know your dog can go someplace safe if he feels threatened.

Answer 3

It kitty is six months old, time to get rid of those front claws.

Answer 4

its very natural for kettens & puppies to play, you shouldnt worry too much. you could try keeping your kittens nails trimmed that way there is less of a chance to your pooch getting scratched, just use small fingernail clippers thats what I do

Answer 5

my cat attacks my dog cause my cat thinks its a dog and they both just play
