Fighting Like Cats and Dogs…

Dr. Gary Weitzman, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Washington Animal Rescue League speaks to a listener who recently added a stray cat to a family of two cats that seem to be reacting adversely to the new cat, but they are directing their hostility toward each other, not the new cat. Another listener has 3 dogs and one of them, a 17 month-old puggle bullies the other dogs. She can’t figure out a solution to the bullying. Another listener has a dog that has taken a liking to eating mud and mulch.
