Kobi my dog loves my 6 indoor cats. Last year along came stray Toffee who hates dogs and judging by his behaviour around Kobi I would say he has had a bad encounter with one while he was a stray. Toffee has to remain an outside cat and sleeps in my cats pen because he hates Kobi. He does come in the house in the day for a sleep and will be fine with Kobi in the same room if someone is watching them. It's the garden that is the problem. We thought Toffee was getting better as he would sit in the garden and just glare at Kobi while my husband was out throwing the ball for the dog. We have taken a step back and Toffee has attacked Kobi 3 times in the past week - he flies at Kobi with his claws out and tries to scratch him. I have 6 cats in an outdoor cat pen and Toffee thinks he has to protect them. If the cats have a little tiff in the pen Toffee thinks that Kobi has caused it and wants to attack him.
How do I get Toffee to see Kobi with the cats? When I take the cats back in the house in the evening Toffee is put in the cat pen. I can't put him in the house with the cats as he will not get on with them all - tried him with Kai Ruki and he hit Toffee. When I put the youngest 2 in their walking jackets in the garden Toffee won't leave them alone and jumps on top of them!! I don't know whether to try putting Toffee in the cat carrier and in the room with the cats and the dog, or will there be too much disruption and Kobi won't even act normally around the cats?
Any suggestions? Hubby is getting annoyed with Toffee.
