New foster dog, only rans after the cat when she...?
I have two cats, and one new foster dog. One of the cats is fine and the dog just pretends she is not there. But my smaller cat, always rans when she sees the dog, and the dog chases her. What can I do to make the situation better? For the little cat and to stop the dog from chasing her?

Best Answer:&
Keep the dog on a long leash - just let her drag it around.
When she starts to go after the cat, step on the leash and say 'leave it!'.
The first few times, she'll keep going and hit the end of the leash.
Once she's stopped, call her to you and praise her for coming.
If she stops when you tell her to 'leave it!', praise and give her a bunch of treats.
Also, whenever she is behaving calmly around the cats, praise her and toss her a treat.
When you cannot supervise the dog, keep her crated or otherwise separated from the cats.

give the cats there own area, like put a baby gate or a tote in a bedroom doorway so only the cat can get in, away from the dog. If the cat is hissing a lot and hair standing straight up in a mowhalk, then you may have a problem, otherwise, it could be playing, and no big deal. Try Feliaway to help calm the cat down, it really helps!

Don't worry about it. The puppy thinks the cat is playing. My dog does the same thing to my cat, it does no harm... Maybe when the dog is older and
calms down they'll get along better. That's what I'm hoping will happen with my babies...

Cats Are Obligate Carnivores This means the main ingredient in a cat's diet must be meat. Cats must have amino acids which are found in meat, the most important being taurine. A diet lacking in taurine will slowly cause the cat to go blind and de thus they should not be on a vegetarian diet.
Cats should regularly eat cat food, which supplies them with everything their body needs. Generally speaking, the best cat foods are the ones with a very high, named-meat content. They should be labelled by source, such as: Chicken, Turkey, Rabbit, Lamb, Tuna, etc., as the first, or first two ingredients.
Aside from meat, the amount of moisture in a cat's is probably the most important part. While strictly not a food item, cats have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their food. Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 65%-75% water, wet food provides a cat with more than enough water each day.
Cats also eat other things if they have access to outside, such as mice. Also, cats naturally will eat bugs around the house or outdoors, such as spiders and flies. Although cats will eat bugs, it should not become a meal for them. Be sure you still feed them cat food daily.if your cat is an outdoors cat they tend to eat rodents or mice other wise pet foodscat food.buy some at any super market.

Cats, being strict carnivores, are designed to eat a diet of meat. They get all their energy from Protein and Fat which is abundant in meat. A pet cat that has access to outsi&de might hunt and eat small birds, mice, voles and other small wildlife animals.
In a domestic setting, there are several types of food cats can be fed, with the three main ones being Raw, Wet (canned) and Dry.
A Raw diet (including muscle meat, ograns and bone) is often seen as the best food for a cat or kitten as this mimicks what a cat would eat in the wild and provides nutrients in the most natural way possible. Owners that feed raw prefer this as they know exactly what they are feeding their pets.
Commercial cat food, however, is usually fed by most. In general, the best prepared cat foods are the ones with a very high, named-meat content. They should be labeled by source, such as: Chicken, Turkey, Rabbit, Lamb, Tuna, etc., as the first, or second ingredient. Reject brands with ingredients such as Grain, Corn, Wheat Gluten, Cereals and Various Sugars as these ingredients have very little or no nutritional value for cats. Wet foods are often much easier to find than dry foods with these specifications.
The amount of moisture in cat food is also very important, if not one of the most important part of a cat's diet. Dry food contains no moisture, so is quite dehydrating and can cause bladder problems. Cats are notoriously bad drinkers, even when they are thirsty. This is because they have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their prey (their ancestors were cats that lived in very dry and arid environments where water was hard to come by), so therefore have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own. This is a trait that has been passed down over the thousands of years.
Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 65%-75% water, a mainly wet food diet provides a cat with more than enough water each day.
Dry food, compared to its popularity, is not an ideal food to feed. Many brands of dry food, including but not limited to: Purina, Friskies, Whiskas, IAMS, Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin etc., regardless of price, contain high concentrations of carbohydrates, such as corns, grains, and cereals. Cats can't digest these, and often gets stored as fat or expelled. These fillers are used instead of meat because, compared to meat, it is much cheaper to source, and helps to hold the kibble together. Cats need meat-based protein, not plant-based protein.
However, some high quality dry food brands such as Orijen, Innova and Applaws are free of grains and cereals.
For high-quality Cat food there is: Blue Buffalo, Felidae, Weruva, California Natural, Instinct, Prairie, Natural Balance, Eagle Pack, Wellness, EVO, Grau, Animonda Carny, Bozita, HiLife, Feline Fayre, to name a few. They like to eat wet food, or anything that is mostly made of meat. Cats are carnivores, so get all their nutrition from raw meat and bone. They also get moisture from their food, so it is ideal to feed a high quality wet food that has a high meat content. it eats meat and fish I recommend fish
Well, I myself have had lots of cats in my lifetime, and so from experience, I've noticed that they love fish! Mostly salmon and tuna, you may also know that they love milk, but thick cream is really their favourite! (They also love cheese, my two cats adore French brie, but it takes them awhile to eat! It's very sticky!) 
 But remember, don't spoil a cat too much, it'll get used to it and won't eat it's own proper cat food! Also, only feeding a cat human food can weaken it's immune system and make it very unhealthy. Some cats like to eat fish and for a break, they like to drink milk. However, milk is not ideal as many cats are lactose intolerant, which can cause the cat to vomit or develop diarhea. Cats are carnivores, so should be given a diet that is mostly composed of meat. Food

As the saying goes, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Some tricks, however, are so simple that even an old dog or new puppy can learn them. Just practice any of the follo&wing a few times a day with your dog.
While traveling with a dog down the open road makes for good memories, doing it properly takes some thought. Help you and your dog enjoy the time you spend journeying together& by keeping these tips in mind.
Swimming, for dogs, is a natural ability, and most dogs are ready to jump right in the pool with the rest of the family and dog paddle around the pool easily. Some dogs may ha&ve issues such as fear of water, nervousness, anxiety, and the lack of ability to swim.
Cats have a rather simple way of eating. Their teeth are specialized for holding, cutting and shearing. A cat will eat by bringing food into its mouth, usually by using it's t&ongue and front teeth. If the food is too large to swallow, the cat's pre molars and molars (sometimes called carnassials) cut up the food, much like a pair of scissors, into pieces that are easy to swallow. Cats cannot not chew and grind down their food like a human can.

Cats do not generally have a lot of meat on them, but in some countries, it is commonly eaten (as is dog).
Cats living wild as a result of the breeding activities of& pets belonging to negligent (i.e- statistically typical) cat owners in the UK and US are generally classified as vermin. In fact, there is pressure in some US states to allow for the legal hunting of feral cats as a measure of protection for indigenous bird species. Presumably, what you kill, you may eat... but it would be best to have the authorities to confirm whether such is legal in your area.
Catching and killing cats in most western countries
beside the potential for falling foul of animals rights laws in killing the animal (where law is concerned, whether the method used was 'humane' is at the sole discretion of the courts - what is good enough for a farm animal will probably not fly with a cat-loving judge), you will also be held accountable for theft and unlawful killing if the animal is a pet, while the cat's owners may also sue you for trauma and damages.
If the animal is stray, it is highly likely to be carrying any one of several diseases and parasites that are transmittable to humans. It would be highly inadvisable to attempt to butcher or eat a cat in any city due to the lower standards of animal hygiene in such environments.
Cats livers can be toxic to humans, and are usually disposed of along with the rest of the innards, but the flesh of a cat is safely digestible.
These concerns aside, however, you can eat cats all you like. Meat is meat.
Yes, but why? Cats are considered faithful and cute companions.
Answer Pigs are considered by some to be perfect pets, being intelligent, trainable, companionable, and even... yes, cute! However, they taste great too. Cats benefit from looking skinnier and less edible, but are nonetheless quite palatable.

 first of all its how can a cat eat? 
 here is how it eats. 
 1. It opens its mouth. 
 2. It gets food in its mouth. 
 3. It closes it s mouth on the food.  &  4. It chews. 
 5. It swallows. 
 The process is like a circle. It continues the circle until the cat is full. 
 Did you know that this circle is how humans eat too? You should try it some time!

Cats are strict carnivores, which means they get their nutrients from meat only. A cat that has access to outside will eat mice, rats, small birds, frogs and other small anima&ls. Pet cats are usually fed on commercial cat food, but these foods still need to be very high in meat in order for the cat to get enough nutrition.
