If you’d like to adopt a cat as a buddy for your dog, you need to follow a strict set of rules to make the introduction as smooth as possible. It is possible for a dog and a cat to become friends even if they didn’t grow up, but make sure that the over a period of the first few weeks your dog and a new cat are subject to training, confinement and constant supervision.
When you bring a new cat into your home, make sure the dog is under confinement so that the cat can get used to the new space, and start eating, drinking water and using her litter box regularly.
The next stage includes the dog and your new cat being in the same room at the same time, but the dog must be on a leash.
This stage is complete when the dog stops obsessing about the cat and the cat is eating and using the litter box normally in the dog’s presence.
Once you’ve got all this covered, unleash the dog and allow short, periodic, supervised “get-togethers” between the dog and the cat. This stage lasts for as long as it takes for the dog and the cat to get used to each other. You can leave the two pets alone together provided they’ve had enough supervised time, which is about 4-5 weeks.
