Today was the day. Kizzy (cat) came out of isolation.... he was in a room upstairs untill he got over his cold, I got the poisonous plants removed and the ringworm issue has been dealt with....
Enter Brandy (dog). Has not seen a cat in ummmm 8yrs or so.... has the house to herself (except, she is not allowed upstairs). Brandy is 9-9.5yrs old... and hyper..as in she likes to jump all over people and things.
I put Brandy in a room and shut the door. I opened Kizzy's door and left.
Eventually he found his way downstairs and got moderately comfy in his surroundings.
I'd let Brandy out for a pee, Kizzy would hide under the end table.
Dinner time, I left Brandy out. When we eat, Brandy is not allowed in the dining room. Kizzy was in the tv room. So for Brandy to get to Kizzy, she would have to come into the dining room which she won't.
After supper they met. Nose to nose. No hissing, no barking, nada. Brandy got a little excited so I called her, scared Kizzy back under the end table LOL.
So yup, their first intro went SURPRISINGLY well
I was impressed.
The only prob I see, is Brandy may hurt Kizzy with her hyperness.
The intro will continue tommorrow
