How can I keep my cat from chasing my dog.?

Question

I raised a cat and dog together, they got along great. My dog died. Bought a new dog and my cat keeps chasing him around the house.

Answer 1

Remove his legs.

Answer 2

Animals are pretty territorial and the new dog has moved into the cats territory. Also, the cat is probably enjoying the power trip because the dog runs. This may be stressful for the dog or the dog may enjoy the game, I can't see it so I can't say.
Try keeping full squirt guns laying around conveniently and squirt the cat in the face whenever you see it happening. Yelling and waving your arms or chasing and/or lightly spanking the cat, whatever it takes to communicate that the behavior is not ok. (Obviously don't hurt the cat). Another "correction" device is a pop can that has been rinsed with several pennies in it and tape over the opening. Throw it near (not at) the cat, the noise may be enough to startle and distract it. This can also be done with a set of keys, again, don't hit the cat.
This is a training thing and you can definately do it.
I have a real bad *** rescue cat who used to viciously chase my three big dogs. I actually had to keep him crated on a high shelf upstairs for the 4-5 hours a day when we were all in the studio together. Eventually over a period of months I was able to bring the crate down closer and closer with the dogs all on down stays, then I could open the crate, then let the cat creep out and all would be ok so long as the dogs didn't move. It's been five years and the cat still gets ugly sometimes, but he knows he's trouble if he goes after the dogs so mostly he just has hissy fits.

Answer 3

The reason why your cat hates your new dog is because they are not used to each other like your old dog and him. You might want to put your cat in a cage and introduce the new dog to your cat without him chasing him around the house. Plus the dog won't need to worry about your cat chasing him.

Answer 4

That's kind of funny! Honestly, the cat just isn't used to the new dog yet and feels threatened. This could also be the beginning of a power struggle for alpha or "top dog". Yes, dogs and cats raised together establish rank.

Answer 5

haha the cat is showin ur dog whos the boss plus cats are so playful & funny & smart! Spray the cats back with a bottle of water when it goes after the dog. It wont hurt the cat if u spray it on the back only! not on the face of course. Soon ur cat should learn to stop but they still can play together.

Answer 6

Just leave them alone they will get it all cleared up in a few days. The cat is showing the dog that she was there first, they'll get used to each other, as long as neither one of them is seriously hurt I'd let the two of them settle it.

Answer 7

Why would you want to? I love to see my cat chase my dog around.

Answer 8

canines think of the cats are prey and canines are predators. Many Shepherds think of they are in a position to herd the cats. The cats could desire to have the flexibility to stand up off the floor. some canines purely think of cats are exciting to chase. in case you intend on retaining that canines you will ought to make a room for the cats and somewhat some places to stand as much as protection. they could be happy with some cat trees such as you will locate on the super puppy shops.

Answer 9

cause the cat wants to play.. can't really get the cat to stop till the dog gets the cat and puts a stop to it

Answer 10

try to take them to a trainer and help them from that
