I adopted two 4 year old cats three years ago. One spent most of his first week under my bed. I think the dogs various barking scared them at first. I never allow chasing or barking at the cat but they do bark at people coming to the door etc. Like Beth said leash him if he is barking at the cats to stop it. Also feeding treat while he is quiet with the cat in the room may help. It often takes a month or more for dogs or cats to acclimate. This is the cat that was the most scared…

I would leash the dog if he persists on barking, and say "ah-ah" like you really really mean it. Like you're mad at him. For the cat, they generally recommend new cats be confined to one small room with litter box, food (on the opposite end of the room) and water. I would offer fresh kibble every day and try small amounts of canned to tempt him. Get something really smelly like Fancy Feast and take it up if he doesn't eat it in an hour or so.<br />

Both times I moved with my cat I kept her in one room for a little while. Let them out to explore when they start asking to leave, and leave the door to "their" room most of the way closed so the cat can squeeze through but it feels enclosed when its in there. Cats are often very upset by moves. When I moved the first time with Alice, she hardly ate for weeks and dropped two pounds. It was to the point I thought she would put herself into organ failure before she relented. The second move was much easier. I would think that the barkin…tag:mycorgi.com,2010-02-24:1150197:Comment:6208912010-02-24T10:55:07.448ZStephaniehttp://mycorgi.com/profile/DaBear
I would think that the barking is a herding instinct. They instinctually use barking to herd livestock and Owen is probably trying to "herd" the kitty. I would work on Leave It.
