Hi,
We brought our 9 week old cockapoo puppy Bella home a couple of days ago and we're having a bit of trouble introducing her to our 15 year old male cat. We first introduced them by holding Bella and the cat and letting them sniff each other slowly. The cat hissed and tried to scratch Bella (which we expected) and so far we've kept them in separate rooms whilst we've got used to Bella and settled her in.
This morning the cat accidently got out, saw Bella and tried to attack her again, but Bella didnt seem fussed by it.
We obviously don't want this to continue for much longer and wondered if anyone has any advice on how to keep the peace between the two of them and re-introduce them.
