Since I brought my new kitten home at 4 weeks old, I have been letting my lab, Sadie and her get introduced. Sadie is 4 yrs old. I have two other small dogs in the house that she is fine with. She wants desperately to play with them but they wont have it, they think she is a tiny terror. My lab comes inside at night and I have been keeping the lab from going full on play with the cat to avoid injuries. The kitten actually doesn't seem scared at all. she plays hide and pounce behind the couch. But when she zooms across the floor to some other spot, Sadie gets so excited and wants to chase. I have been putting the kitten in a wire crate in the middle of my den every night when Sadie is allowed in, and they just sleep next to each other, or kitten sleeps and Sadie chews on a bone right next to her. I tried leashing Sadie and letting the kitten loose, but Sadie would not settle down, just kept lunging wanting to chase the kitten. I don't think Sadie would hurt her intentionally (we have other older cats that she is friends with) I just want to be careful. Does anyone have an idea at what age the kitten would be safe to let loose to play with her? (she's 8 weeks now)
