We just got a puppy about two months ago and my cat is now about 9 months old. When we first got the puppy the cat was bigger and would chase the puppy around and bite him or hold him down and lick his head and the puppy did not like this. Well the puppy is bigger than our cat now and when they play I think he is being too rough, he will grab the cat under his chin with his teeth and shake his head. The cat has a few scabs on his neck, but our cat still chases him and the dog is usually the one who yelps but he can get the kitty pretty good. How to I train him to be nicer to the cat, usually when he is being too rough I use a firm voice and say "NO, Be nice", but I don't want to train them not to play? I hope this isn't too confusing! Thanks.

You are going to have to intercede and rescue the cat until the puppy is old enough to avoid the behavior.

you should try and keep an eye on your cat whenever possible. you could also try take your puppy to a dog park where he could go off his leash and chase around with other dogs instead of your cat. the behavior will probably pass when he gets older.
enjoy your puppy!
