He really is a beautiful dog and is so smart! He does have a super strong prey drive and points naturally, so I don’t think he would be a good fit for us at all. I do think he should go to someone who will hunt with him… it’s just what he really wants to do and I think he will be amazing with proper training. I think now that he’s getting some…[Read more]

Sounds good!

That’s great news, sounds like they are re-settling into their bond as a pair.

Glad to hear it!

I imagine he was chewing the old boxes a lot because they are basically cardboard. Even if he chews the new one, it’s not likely he will bite off and swallow whole pieces. But sometimes the chewing can make sharp edges on the plastic which can be worrisome. I have had success clamping cardboard to the edges of the box so that my bun chewed that…[Read more]

Slower introductions are not a bad idea, but they can be in the same room if necessary. I recommend that bun has a safe zone that the cat is not allowed into (such as a pen or condo that can be closed). You might also consider a crate for the cat at first when they aren’t being supervised.

Thanks guys. It’s just tough because I don’t know what he’s going through. ):

The vet said he may have had an insect bite or eaten something that punctured his lip and that developed into an infection that he just couldn’t beat. We caught it at its earliest possible moment, but it was just too much.

It’s crazy how quickly you become attached to them, and how fast they become a part of your heart, even when you didn’t go lo…[Read more]

I bought the smallest cat litter box they had which also had, I would say, medium height walls? Not Really low and not really high. Even so he still likes to chew whatever he can (Litter boxes, carpets, anything wooden, cardboard, etc..) so I’m still a little worried giving him this particular litter box.

Thank you both for the advice! Just an update; we’ve been having supervised play dates in the bathroom (a neutral area); Cloud is still pretty skittish and running away a lot but no fighting so I classed that as progress. On advice from the vet, I bought Pet Remedy calming spray and tried it today. I’ve never used it before so was quite scep…[Read more]

I’m so sorry, ergodic 💔

Binky free, Snickerdoodle. May you and George play happily forever in the endless rainbow medows 💖

I’m so sorry 🙁 it sounds like Snickerdoodle will have great company though.

Sometimes things happen very suddenly and despite best care and being attentive, we can’t prevent everything. Perhaps snickerdoodle had an underlying condition that wasn’t at all perceivable until it was too late.

Binky free~

Buddy is adorable! I love the ticked colored ones, Otis is so dark that you can hardly even see his patches. Looks like Buddy has a little kissy spot on his forehead like Otis. 😉

Otis is from hunting lines too, and while he definitely has the energy you’d expect, he doesn’t seem to be a born hunter. He doesn’t really care about birds and he…[Read more]

Thank you both for your replies and great information.

I prepared to separate their spaces but realised they’d each claimed a portion of the space available (they’re currently taking up whole dining room and most of the kitchen). I’ve got a small WiFi cam / baby monitor so used that to see what they were like overnight, fairly chilled out, small…[Read more]

Of course no toys resembling bunnies! Do you keep them together in one room? I mean rabbit lives with me in my room and I don’t actually know if I can place rabbit into the same room from day one when I get him? I actually think it would be better to give a couple of days to the cat but I don’t want to discriminate the rabbit since he is alw…[Read more]

Thanks both for your responses. Last night we tried with an x pen fence between them and it seemed to work really well – no violence at all, and now the barrier is gone they seem happily exploring together (for now). Pumpkin is quite relieved and Hero is more chilled out.

They have had vet check ups recently, Hero went through some gas problems…[Read more]
