My female cat continually slaps my Golden Retriever, my cat is 5 years old, Sheba is 2 years old?

I think it is more than likely that your cat is just asserting the correct pecking order for the household. As she presumably was there first she sees herself as the alpha animal, the lead animal in the household, and is telling the dog to back off. As she is so big next to the cat it's just a warning - it's possible the cat may feel threatened by her size.

I'm not sure that your hitting the cat with a paper will be productive and may end up making things worse. The dog can look after herself ... she'll just end up avoiding the cat ... which is what the cat wants.

A friend of mine had the same problem. Her dog was Pincess and her cat was Cairo. She kept saying that Cario was teaching Princess some good manners.

The cat and the dog eventually figured out their own boundaries between themselves and peace was restored. Our cat doesn't like our dogs, so we keep them separated.

Thanks, I just told my hubby today to an eye on Fierce and the paper ready..

I used to have a cat who would slap me, whenever I sang. I think she was just being a critic in her own way.

Having both Goldens and cats my suggestion, let them sort it out. I doubt if the Golden would hurt your cats..just maybe teach them some respect and tolerance.

Wack the cat with a paper every time she does it. Just like dogs, kids, and anything else, cats need trained and disciplined too.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
