I have recently (in the last couple of weeks) lost my dog of 14 years. He had Cancer and it was kinder to let him go. (hardest thing i have ever done). Yesterday I got the opportunity to get a new puppy (8weeksold) so i took it and brought him home.
My cat who is 10 and i got him as a 4 week old stray abandoned by its mother at my workplace, who grew up with my old dog who was quite young although already mature, is totally freaked out. He wont stop hissing and growling at both the dog and me.
He has never been exactly a loving cat but he has always loved me (a one person cat) he used to come cuddle me when he wanted some attention.
I dont know what i should do. do i let them try to sort it out or do i keep them separate. I have been reading mixed answers and wanted some thoughts of other animal lovers.
