Question on the flip side. How do you make cats that aren't used to living
with dogs get used to them? Anything different from previous advice? I'm
assuming so, since you can't exactly 'train' cats the way you would dogs.
Speaking of which - why can't we recondition cats the same way we do dogs?
Scary dog appears, cats get something good. Eventually, scary dog is not so
scary.

I'm doing a HV for a family today that has cats, hamster, guinea pig, birds
and a gecko. And two kids, 3 and 6. They have already asked lots of
questions, and I want to be prepared. I will bring my two in to dog test
the kids and cats, but I would like some input on the cat question.
