Moonbird Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Well she might calm down with the cat but from what you said she sounds as if she doesn't like cats at all, as Katkin said terriers can be really bad for chasing cats and in my experience if it is an ingrained dislike then that will not change. You could persevere with the crate for a while but make sure that the cat has somewhere safe to go where the dog can't get her, maybe a gate on the stairs so the cat can go up there out of the way and not be chased or followed. I think ultimately you have to decide whether to give it a couple of weeks and try to introduce them more slowly...if you think that you can do that, or let the dog go to another home without cats. Maybe let the dog go to another rescue that will take care of her and check out people who want to adopt her? I don't want to be judgmental at all but if you have had a few dogs in the past and its not worked out perhaps you should call it a day now, perhaps your not really in the right place in life for a dog at the moment. Please don't get another, its just stress and upset, for both you and the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I know it's the other way round and I introduced a kitten to my dogs but a week on they've really settled down. Mixie is even suckling on Jenny if it means she can steal some cat food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call a few rescue centers tomorrow and see if any will take her though there might be a waiting list, please make sure that she is safe you owe her that much surely? Please don't just give her to anyone who offers, I know you may be feeling desperate but nasty things can happen to little dogs, not everyone is what and who they seem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
