It is so shocking to see this puppy avoid something or be afraid of another animal cause she is just so full of herself

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

Depending on how small this puppy is your kitten could seriously hurt him. I'd watch closely, toy dogs can be very fragile. Chances are your kitten is just playing; even if she is hissing, cats and kittens can get overexcited during play. Either that or she's never seen a puppy before and is a little freaked out by him, in this case, she will calm down eventually. but either way I would watch them pretty closely.

Keep the kitten's claws trimmed! With kittens this means weekly clipping and frequent checking because they're claws grow so fast.
I'm betting that the puppy is just confused as to why something so small can act so aggressively. Kittens play rough, I honestly think they're rougher in their play than puppies are. It's been a long time since I've had a litter of puppies around, but I don't remember them ever leaving scratches, bites, or pulling mouthfuls of fur out (common, but rough kitten and cat play in my house
).
Distract kitten with play if the puppy can't handle it's attention and try to keep the kitten from becoming a bully. If they know they can torment another animal, many kittens will do it even if to them it's no more than a rough game.
