When the first meeting between a dog and a cat is about to take place in your home, please carefully arrange a spacious and comfortable stage. Tie a safe and stylish leash to your beloved dog and gently guide it to sit down. At this moment, it's worth taking this opportunity to strengthen the command of "sit down" and give it delicious snacks as encouragement. Let your dog understand that the first encounter with a cat requires calmness, composure, and tolerance.
And your cat can freely stroll in this cozy room and explore this newly added family member. Please do not rush to get your cat and dog close, and do not attempt to forcibly pair them. Let the cat slowly accept the presence of this new partner according to its own rhythm. The first encounter may only be a brief encounter, but it is enough for the cat to start thinking about this new relationship.
Different cat breeds have different personalities and preferences. Some cats are naturally good at interacting with dogs, while others prefer to be with humans or other cats. However, the most important thing is to respect the cat's choices and not force it to accept any relationships. When a cat feels uneasy or wants to escape, please give it enough space and freedom. Don't worry, the cat's curiosity will always drive it back to this warm home, creating more beautiful memories with you and your dog.
