[QUOTE="Star*, post: 95206, member: 4964"] to introduce the cats to your dogs you must get 4 chairs, everyone sit nicely on a chair. then you start the introductions "Fluffy, this is Killer", "Killer, this is Fluffy." "fluffy, this is Spike." "Spike this is Fluffy." "Spike this is Killer" "Killer this is Spike". "Spike and Fluffy, this is Killer" "Killer and Spike this is Fluffy." Then look at everyone and say "THESE ARE THE RULES" "No biting, no growling, no showing dominance, no eating tootsies out of the litterbox, no eating cat food, cat? No eating DOG food. Everyone has their own waterbowl - good. Kitty the dog is not a swatting toy, Dog the cat is not a stuffed animal. Kitty, your claws are registered as lethal weapons, Dogs your teeth can poke holes in sticks - do not make the same mistake with your SISTER. No hissing, no spitting, no swatting, No barking, no posturing, no raising your lips. No pooping in any other area that are NOT designated for pooping, and curtains are NOT for sharpening claws, neither are the undersides of my furniture. THESE ARE THE RULES ANYONE Caught breaking the rules of this house will be removed and taken to the basement for a bath and then bed without supper. then yell in your Warrior MOm voice AM I CLEAR? DO WE ALL GET EACH OTHER? - I am pretty sure this way you cover all the grounds of effective feline and canine communication. You introduced them, you laid out the ground rules of your home, you have a consequence appropriate for their ages. And know this - your cat will be your biggest difficult child. Mine skirts the 'rules' all the time. She'll lay under the furniture and "pretend" to claw the fabric, but in reality is just looking for attention and to hear me say anything about HER. Total difficult child. Hey-if you don't understand the rules HOW can you get along in the game? GOOD LUCK - YOUR GONNA NEED IT. [/QUOTE]
