Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Does anyone have any advice on introducing a female husky puppy to cats that are already in the home? ]

How old is she?

I got my first Husky when he was 11 weeks and my cat was 6 months and they've been best friends ever since. I just let them off in a bedroom together so they were forced to socialized, and it worked. With my other two, they were both over 4 months and they kinda just sniffed him out and they just ignore each other for the most part.

She is only 18 days old right now, I will be getting her the end of March when she is weaned.

Thank you for the advice, I assume keeping them separate would kind of delay the process. So just letting them get adjusted to each other in their own time is the best way to go. I am going to kind of keep them separate at first by a baby gate. So hopefully they will sniff each other out and become buddies in their own time.

Thank you Smile

Yeah definitely don't seperate them, you want your puppy to get accustomed to the cat as quickly as possible Smile Maybe even try getting your cat socialized with dogs, if he/she isn't already before the pupyp comes home

I have 2 cats. They were both exposed to my older dog Samantha. It really depends on the cat. My calico has no fear when it comes to dogs. She'll walk right up to them without a care in the world. My fat cat HATES Lucian. She refused to come out from under my bed for 2 days. I had to move the litter box, food and water up to my bedroom for her. It took her a while to come downstairs too. Any time Lucian comes near her she hisses, and growls at him. She's swatted him in the muzzle a few times as well. But he knows now not to mess with her. He won't try to chase her at all. He lays down until she moves out of his path, lol. I didn't do anything special but monitor them. My cats can escape upstairs, Lucian knows he isn't allowed up there, and he's gated in my kitchen at night, or when we aren't home.
