Indeed. Just leave it some food and drink, tickle it under the chin, stroke its tummy....rescue it from the daughter who wants to dress it up and put in the toy pram....
Just wondering how our dog will react. Normally he is ok once he knows a cat is officially allowed in. On one occasion he even took his favourite toy and dropped it for the cat to play with. Our current moggy is however showing signs of jealousy...
Yikes ... jealous dogs and new cats is not good news. You might need to visibly feed the cat first and the dog second to put the dog back in its (lower) place. Lots of stroking the cat and including the dog works too as reinforcement. But the dog has to accept he is lower in the pecking order otherwise he will eliminate what he thinks is competition.
Good luck. Love cats soooo much. (Dogs second.)
