Cats, as we know, are not afraid of expressing their opinions. And your high-energy Labradoodle might not be tolerable at first.
But, by understanding cat behavior and getting to know your pets, you might find that your Labradoodle and cat have become best friends.
Ideally, your puppy should have some socialization before meeting your cat. This will help them to establish that other animals are not a threat.
Just like any other member of the family, fluffy or not. A separate bed for your dog and your cat is a great first step.
That’s right, pets can get jealous too. With more than one animal in your house, you’ll need to share your attention equally.
By keeping an eye on your pets, you’ll learn a lot about how they interact with each other and their individual personalities. And, of course, you’ll be nearby if the claws come out.
Although they are territorial, cats are unlikely to intrude on your Labradoodle’s meals. Dogs, however, tend to believe in the old “you snooze, you lose” practice when it comes to food.
If your pet has displayed territorial or aggressive behavior in the past, it may not be ready for a new housemate. However, some training and socialization can help this.
