- As a kitten, our now ~8 year old tiger cat Whiskers became attached to
- our semi-labrador dog Adrian, who died recently. Whiskers always
- followed Adrian everywhere, worried when he was missing, comforted him
- during the long illness, and is now quite disconsolate. My son and
- daugher-in-law live in an adjoining apartment and have just acquired a
- new (3 month? old) puppy, and we thought Whiskers might bond to her,
- but when we try to arrange a meeting, Whiskers hides. Any ideas?
- Sprinkle catnip on the puppy?
