My Baby Cat

June 22nd, 2010 by Two-Legs

I just moved my kitten into my new apartment. I live with 5 other people and 1 of them has a dog, which is a rat terrier mix. I have no door to my loft so I put up a gate to keep the dog out and the cat hasn’t yet ventured out of my room without me, mainly because he’s smart and knows a dog is out there.

This is the third night of having him and they’ve seen each other a few times through the gate. The kitten is relatively unresponsive to the dog, mainly hisses if even that. The dog however sits at the gate crying and, when he sees the cat, starts barking and altogether freaking out. The dog is also taking to sitting in front of the gate and crying when he can’t see where me and the cat are.

Any suggestions?
