[step] Whether you are bringing a new cat or dog into a home that already has a cat or dog or you are trying to make your existing pets get along better, you need to create a good foundation to build on. To begin with, make sure that your home has ample space for the two pets to have some space away from each other.
[substeps] Where possible, have cages, food bowls, toys, and a litter box all available on your property. This will set your home up so that it meets its existing owners' needs. This will ensure that neither pet will feel threatened or intimidated by the other. [substeps] For example, there may be stairs leading from the bottom to the top of the house, all the way up. You will need to keep the pets separated for several days, so multiple rooms in your home are necessary. [substeps] Also, make sure that the dog will follow your commands. An ideal cat-house is somewhere that allows only one space per pet. Limit the number of cats you have, and if you have more than one cat, keep them nearby.
