Hello Again
by aussiesgirl Fri Feb 15 2013, 15:49
Hi all
I'm Kerry and i 1st joined in may when we got our 1st SBT but was very short lived as she went for the cat even though being told by the rescue centre she was cat tested and was fine :-( she was called Holly she was black and gorgeous,
But nearly a year on we have found we miss having a dog around even though for a short while it got us out more as a family and was just so nice having a dog around,
We are going to look at a 27 month old brindle girl tomorrow so excited as she is fab with cats a big softie in general ,
would be nice for ant hints and tips from anyone who introduced a younger dog to a older cat.
And hope to talk to you all very soon

Welcome to the forum!
When introducing a dog (especially a young dog) to anything new whether it's a cat or another dog it's very important to take it slowly and calmy. I think it's best to do it in stages, as in for a small amount of time at the start. Most Staffords are pretty bonkers excited when they are young which will most likely scare the cat away. They also play rough so don't immediately think that loud play growling is a bad sign, they all do it.
Logan has always been great with cats as there are a lot where I live. I've always found that if the dog is too much for the cat they will have no problem correcting the dog themselves. Either that or they'll just avoid them all together.

Hi and welcome back to the forum from Rocky and me.
Sorry I've never had a cat so cannot help you with this one.
