if my cat jade has kittens will my big 75 pound rotweilwer try to hurt them or accidentaly hurt the kittens??

Answer 1

The dog will try to kill the kittens and there will be nothing accidental about it. Keep the dog far away from the cat when she has the kittens.

Answer 2

First of all, you say my "big" rotweiller of 75 pounds - sounds like a puppy and so with all young animals, unintentional injuries could be the cause of playfulness.
Your breed of dog is what's called a working breed. They must stay busy by instinct, otherwise they get bored and restless and that when the destruction begins. Most rots are attracted to movement, it's in their nature. The faster something moves, the more attractive it is. They are also very curious and want to investigate everything. The older they get the more protective they get. Which could be bad or good in the kittens' case.
Make sure that you keep the dog separated from the cat and kittens at least till they are weaned. During this time, you may want to "socialize" them with your dog, by holding them carefully and fully guarded, but let the dog smell them.
After they are bigger and running around, you might be able to comingle them with the dog, but until they are able (mentally and physically) to defend themselves, Do Not leave them unsupervised with the dog.
You should be able to tell how the dog's temperament will be with the new arrivals pretty soon after their first meeting. If the dog shows any aggression, separate them for good and always watch them around the dog.
If you rot is like any of the ones I have had, then it may have a very playful nature at times, and with its weight and strength, it could hurt the kittens just by stepping on them, knocking them down or playing with them and biting or throwing them.
Enjoy them but realize the dog's shortcomings.

Answer 3

That depends a lot on your dog. If he (I assume it's a he) doesn't have any problems with Jade, then he shouldn't have too much problem with the kittens either. Most animals are protective of youngs, even when it's not their own, and there is nothing that states that dogs automatically dislike cats (usually that dislike comes from their language differences, I believe). There are several people who breed both cats and dogs and have no problems doing that, even without keeping them absolutely separate.

What COULD happen even if he's not aggressive, however, is that the dog might get too excited when it comes to playing with the kittens, because he doesn't expect them to be as fragile as they are. So you should definitely keep an eye on things even if you trust your dog, and never leave them unsupervised together.

Answer 4

first, ask yourself and answer these questions:
has your dog displayed over-aggressive behavior in general before?
has your dog displayed aggression toward other animals before?
is your dog especially prossessive of your home?

in any case, you'll have to introduce them slowly. here's a good scenario: remove your dog from the room the kittens will be in. let the kittens feed, play and do whatever they want in the room for a while.

then, move the kittens to a different room and bring your dog back to the room the kittens were just in. that way, your dog will get used to the scent of the kittens before he actually meets them.

finally, hold your dog on a very short leash and calmly introduce him to the litter. please, try to remain as confident and calm as possible. any fear or uncertainty on your part might put your dog ill at ease. if you notice any signs of aggression on your dog's part (ears back, low growl, baring teeth), promptly pull your dog back and try the meet-and-greet again at a later time.

this should work fine, and if it does, then you should have a harmonious household. make sure not to forget to devote attention to your dog alone so your dog doesn't get jealous of the new arrival.

also, never, ever let the dog around the kittens off a leash until they are older.

if this doesn't work and your dog remains over-protective, contact a pet behaviorist as soon as possible, and good luck.

Answer 5

Your rotweilwer will or will not hurt kittens only you will know ...And IF that big 75 pound rotweilwer hurt of kill kittens it not accidentaly...

Answer 6

Reads merely approximately what I went via. My youngest kitten appeared to be set upon via an older kitten. She would scream bloody homicide. yet as quickly as she became launched via the older kitten she became giving it as stressful as she had have been given it. So quite some bluffing occurring, and it somewhat with reference to the pecking order. Biting the neck is a fashion of having on the spot obedience. mom cats carry their kittens via the nape of their neck, and whilst they %. up their kittens that way, the kitten is going limp. You did now not point out the age of your older cat, yet whilst under 3 years, she nevertheless has quite some kitten in her, and kittens play tough. Very tough. So interior the absence of blood drawn, that's tough play and jockeying for alpha kitty place. i do now not in all probability see the ought to separate them at nighttime, because of the fact any ability harm you worry approximately ought to happen so immediately, your being there would not somewhat count variety. now not isolating them at nighttime would merely upload somewhat extra noise on your place, yet it particularly is approximately it.

Answer 7

I agree with the previous answers; your dog might hurt them by mistake (think about the size difference!). If your dog is ok with Jade then he might not want to hurt the kittens, but his curiousity might hurt them.

Answer 8

i used to have a rotweiler and he shouldn't bother the kittens unless a cat hurts him. when i had a rotweiler and cats at the same time the cats would sleep with my rotweiler. only when one of them slashed his nose did he start getting mean to them. just be careful about your cats and make sure if he growls at them put the dog on a chain and keep the kittens away from him

Answer 9

there is no right or wrong answer. has your dog ever been agressive toward other animals before? i wouldn't put them together until the babies are older just to make sure. kittens are very frail when they are babies if she accidently sat on them they could get hurt

Answer 10

He would probably hurt them by accident. My dog was very gentle with our kittens, but that is becuase every time she tried to play with them we made sure of it, and after a week she was easy by herself.
