If the dog doesn't try to make Oz into a snack, the two will eventually get
used to each other and set ground rules. As for Oz and spraying, it's
sometimes the neighborhood fighters that give up the whole thing as a bad idea
once they find themselves neutered and cared for by a loving human and never
spray again. Like I said in another post on this topic, the horrid odor that
accompanies an intact male cat totally disappears once they are neutered and
all that you are left with is a spritz of pee that can be washed off with lemon
detergent or something else pleasant. Most of my enthusiastic sprayers gave it
up after they realized that they were living with a family of rescued cats, no
one was their enemy any more and they didn't have to set territorial
boundaries. Now they stick to having a hissy fit occasionally, maybe a face
slapping contest but I haven't had a real battle or full wall spray job in over
two years. My problem here is that lots
of the cats "think" outside of the box. This is an issue that calls for a
plastic paint scraper to pick up the offering and a bucket lined with a plastic
bag to drop it in. After everything is cleaned up, it's mop and pail time and
the house is back to normal until the next day. Sigh. For this I needed a
college degree.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors
too!
