I’ve had 2 cats for over 15 years and recently we’ve bought a miniature schnauzer puppy, which would now have been here for one year in a few days. Within the first month of bringing the dog home, i assume the stress was too much for the one cat and it died but the other cat stuck around. The cat and dog fight all day long so we keep the cat locked in the basement when the dog sleeps (it’s a big basement with a kitty litter box and food, water, etc… Not like we’re completely ignoring it) and we let him come up during the day, only to see them fight. Recently the cat has been very annoying, shitting on the floor, not going in its box, and eating the dogs food. I want to get rid of the cat but i know that if i gave it to someone it would just be devastated, however i do have the option to put it to sleep.

Any ideas?

And no, getting rid of the dog is not an option at all and training them to get along is impossible.
In response:
Im not asking if i should get rid of the cat because its old, it just doesnt seem fair to be locked in the basement and attacked by a dog when it comes upstairs to see the family.
After reading the answers, the “putting to sleep” option is obviously out of the question and i can’t believe i even considered it. It sounds like putting the kitty door to the basement would be a good idea and punishment for the dog can’t hurt when it fights with the cat.
To the people who say put the animal up for adoption, i dont see that as an option… For one, they could put the cat to sleep without dignity, at least if I did it I could give it a proper goodbye however I will not be taking that option. I also know that the cat could not adjust to a new family, it has been with me his entire life, in his own environment. I have looked for personal friends to take him but no one would.

I want to start walking, I’ll be pushing a double stroller with my toddler and infant and I want the dogs to join us. Right now I have extendable leashes, but they won’t work with the kind of stroller I have. Can I get one leash for 2 dogs? BTW, I have miniature schnauzers. Thanks!!

The name means “the bright one;honor and light” and schnauzers are very smart. I am getting my new schnauzer puppy in a month. Do you have other name suggestions???? Please feel free to list.

I’m 18 and I’ve been wanting to adopt a cat for the longest time. Our family has 2 dogs. A 13 year old schnauzer mix, and a 4 year old miniature schnauzer. Our 4 year old schnauzer is the “jealous type” and my mom doesn’t think we could have a cat in the house with him.

But I think otherwise. How would you go about introducing a kitten to a jealous overprotecting dog?
And my miniature schnauzer has never been around cats.

Well, our patio just got finished and I want
to train my miniature schnauzer to go to the
bathroom in this gravel area.
We don’t have any grass. Its all
tile and concrete, but there’s this area
- gravel – that we had made just for
her to go to the bathroom in.

How can I train her to go to the bathroom there?
How can I show her that its ok to go there?
haha.

thanks!
