Not even sure it is possible with these 3 (Ivan, Peewee and Hazel) but I thought if it was, this would be the place to come.
Since we moved in June, Hazel has become strictly an indoor cat. In the last week she has finally ventured out from her end of the house. Which is no problem.
The problem is she doesn't like the dogs and Ivan has no idea what to do about her. He has never lived indoors with a cat. So when he sees her, he starts yapping, and making all sorts of noises at her. Which in turn freaks her out even more. Her first reaction to either of the dogs is to growl, hiss and then run. And I know running is not a good option around Ivan.
Peewee ignores her(hes been down this road before). He knows inside cats are OFF limits.
But I'm lost as to how to get her to relax around both the dogs. And for Ivan to leave her the heck alone. What can I do?
Is it too much to ask that all 3 get along or atleast co-exsist together?
