    Dogs Meet Kitten

    I had to add this, last night my friend and her dog Moby came over to the house. My two, Wiz & Floyd and this one are all great friends, but as soon as Moby went near Cosmo (kitten) Wiz jumped in between them and growled. It's only been a week and a half and Wiz is protecting Cosmo! Cheers Vix

    Dogs Meet Kitten

    Does anyone have any advice on introducing a new kitten to two dogs. The most important thing about dogs meeting dogs is sociallise, socialise, but everything I read about cat's says, keep them in the isolated until they get used to an area and then slowly introduce them to people and pets...
