I just adopted a Cat recently from the Broken Arrow shelter. She’ll be 3 in June. My dog just turned 4 in January. I’ve had cats before, and they’ve gotten along fine with my dog. But this cat will not chill out. She’s not declawed and she’s smacked the dog around a few times. He keeps his distance but if he even walks by her she hisses non-stop and swipes him a few times. It’s been nearly a month since I’ve gotten the cat, will she ever get along with the dog?

How to bring a new cat into a house with existing cats?

I have 4 cats and tonight I’m going to get another cat (not kitten) from a friend who can’t keep the cat. Does anyone have good suggestions for getting the cats used to each other quickly? How can I convince my existing cats to get along with the new cat?
