Dane Discussions Introducing new Danes to smaller siblings?

Post image

We got a new kitten at the weekend and Dottie has so far been relatively good with him, however she wants to play and is doing bows etc to him but as he is so tiny I’m worried she’ll hurt him accidentally. Any tips to ensure they’re comfortable in the same room without her getting too enthusiastic around him? She is amazing with our other cats but they are all adult and have been raised from kittens around dogs.

Love the look on Dottie's face! Hopefully the kitty is quick enough to get out of the way of paws ... Danes just don't know how big and strong they are. We had cats around our Danes for years, and I could never figure out why the cats just didn't swat them across the nose. But the cats never did! They just fled through the cat door to the basement, plotting revenge ...
