Liz - In my case, the cat was here first, established territory. Then one
dog moved in, who basically ignored the cat so there was no problems.
Then another dog moved in, who was also non-territorial, and she and the
cat have been getting along fine, ignoring each other.
Oh, but then the male dog moved in (Rocky). Different story. Rocky
loves to play, and is convinced that everything is all about him. He chases
the cat, he chases the older dog, and the cat does not like him, but the
cat has "hiding places" that only she can get to, even though Rocky tries.
So it's not always peace and quiet here like it used to be <sigh>, but
they do keep us young, don't they?
