Hello I'm desperate for some help and understanding !
We brought a new dog home (3yr old male fully intact) into our home with two cats the dog marked his territory the first day we had him in a few spots we cleaned up with the smell removing spray ! We tried to introduce the cats to the dog he's previously lived with cats and totally ignore our cats but they where scared back up hissing at him and frozen that night we shut the cats out the bedroom and the dog in with us, things are just getting worse now ! The cats have moved into the spare room where I have put a baby gate on (to stop the dog getting in but he's only intreasted in the food) but my boy cat keeps peeing in the bathroom in the bath on towels and on our dirty clothes anything he can even tho there is two cat little boxes one in the bathroom one in the cat room ! The girl cat attacked the dog scratching his eye now both cats will come nowhere nere the dog and we have to shut them upstairs out the way of the dog! Sorry for the long post but I'm at my wits end on how to reduce the stress on the cat and stop the behaviour
