My 7 month old calico kitten Callie will not stop bothering my older dog. My dog is a 12 year old female beagle/boxer mix that stresses out very easily and is not well in health. The kitten constantly wants to play to with my dog. She will stalk and try to pounce on my dog. Luckily my dog is very tolerant of this but it is stressing her out. My dog is used to cats but this has got to stop.
I cannot get the kitten a playmate at this time because my dog is suffering from an illness and all of our finances are basically tied up with that and the new kitten. I play with the kitten several times throughout the day and try to burn up her energy. She is most active at dusk and dawn. I don't want to compromise my dog's health with her being as old as she is. What can I do to make this less stressful for my dog?
