Missing Miley

We had to go out of town briefly so Miley is temporarily staying with another foster family. Am told she is doing well with the children and other dogs in the household, all Greyhounds. After an evening of interest in the resident cat, Miley has learned that this is indeed the same sort of animal she lived with here & learning to ignore this cat also.

After years of introducing fosters of many breeds to my cats I can tell you that some dogs though considered cat tolerant need careful introduction to every new cat they meet. Caution is always advised but usually if a dog can live peacefully with a couple cats then things should go OK with new cats after an initial introduction period. (Your mileage may vary based on behavior of the individual cats involved.) Now I cannot tell you how to get a cat who has never met or is very scared of dogs to accept a new dog. Our cats all came with some dog sense.

We miss you, Miley. Have fun on your vacation.
