Any suggestions for how to stop an 11-year-old eskimo/poodle mix who

Dou you have a washer or dryer, or a cabinet that the kitten could get up to that the dog can't? Even a wide window sill would do. Someplace where you could feed the kitten and the dog can't get to the food. Another suggestion is to block of an area for the kitten to eat in. |

Will help the kitten be able to escape the dog on the off chance s/he gets too obnoxious with its new friend. If you don't want the cat up on anything, a box with a hole in it small enough for the cat put into a corner should help.. depending on how persistent the dog is. |

Special feeding devices? -- CRAIG BAILEY 67 Union St. #2D, Winooski, Vt. 05404-1948 USA www.floydianslip.com | 802.655.1197 The ideas for putting it somewhere cat accessible but not dog accessible is a good idea! Two suggestions from my cat's favorite places to hang out a in an unused cabinet in the kitchen. My cabinets are an old style and have magnets to keep them closed. My cat took it upon herself to take over an empty one under my stove, which is also an older style and sits in the counter. She can open the door and everything, so to save space in my tiny kitchen, I put her food bowl and her kitty condo in there and she love to hang out there! Another example, my linen closet. She opens the closet door, it's one of those accordion style doors, and hops up onto the lowest shelf, which is probably about 3 feet high. I stopped storing towels there and gave it to her, complete with a little blanket for napping on. Find spots like that that you cat already likes to go to and put the food there. |

When the kitten was done, I put the kitten food away. |

One of my friends had that problem. He and his wife had two cats and three large dogs, a retriever, a shepherd, and a Doberman. The dogs would eat the cat food given the chance. They solved the problem by putting the cat food at the top of their "cat tree". That's probably not the right name for it but it's one of those structures you can buy at larger pet stores that have several carpeted stairs/shelves. They just put the cat dishes on the highest level and the dogs were out of luck: they couldn't get up there but the cats had no problem accessing their food. -- Buzz |
