I have had a cat, Pumpkin for about 4 years. I am the only person he likes, and he still rarely lets me hold him. We had already had a Shih-tzu that the cat liked, even though the dog just ignored the cat. Last year, my shih-tzu died. We got an Irish Setter puppy, Shea over the summer and Pumpkin was very scared (Shea didnt even chase him. And Pumpkin running away now causes Shea to chase him). The problem is, its been about 5 months and Pumpkin is still very scared of Shea. Pumpkin stays in the basement or upstairs or outside untill he knows Shea is in his crate or outside. Whenever I try to get them to meet, Pumpkin scratches me and runs in the basement. I need Pumpkin to stop being so scared and stop running away so Shea won't chase him. What should I do? (link)

Put Shea in a metal barred crate about a foot away from another crate to put Pumpkin in. Then Pumpkin can't run so Shea will not chase her. Put in a room that you can close off from the rest of the house so they both get some free time. Good Luck!

Thanks! The problem is getting the cat in the crate. I tried it recently, and he remembered his recent vet's visit and I couldnt get him in there. Haha I'll try again soon though
