Matthew Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi, new husky owner, got a copper/white female about 2 months ago, she is now 5 months. She is lots of work but the best dog I have owned so far. I have lots of questions about huskys since I cant seem to find much anywhere else because I believe Huskys are different from most dogs and require things to be done different, well here are some pics of my lil girl(for now lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Oh - I love her already! I see from the pictures you have a cat? That might be a problem in the future - even though she may be fine with the cat now, her prey drive will eventually kick in and she'll try to kill the cat. And that's not good. But yes - WE WANT MORE PICTURES! (And welcome to the forum by the way. I hope you learn lots!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 uh huh, she has been around the cat since shes been home with us, she used to chase the cat but now they are best buds, is there no training or anything I can do to keep her from attacking the cat later? The cat is my wifes so I dont think I can get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #5 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Howdy mate and welcome to the absolute best Husky forum around! There isn't anything cuter that a wet husky pup and the look he's giving you is absolutely priceless. "First you get me all wet and now you make me sit here while you take pictures of me like *this*?????" Check the threads on cats, some dogs do fine others find the kitty's make an irresistible lunch ... I don't have any so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut (for once)!

Paranormal Wolf Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Navi love the name such a pretty girl welcome to the pack. We have 5 outside cats and our husky but he is never off lead around them. He will sniff them when calm but tries to chase when they run, which we don't allow. I will never trust Kuma around the cats because I know how much of a prey drive huskies have. One ran inside yesterday and he went straight for it and mouthed it, could have been worse had I not been around. Just never get a false since of security and 100% trust your girl with the cat. I wouldn't let her chase or even play with the cat. I would encourage as much calm behavior as possible when around the cat and lots of supervised socialization while she is a puppy. Even then I wouldn't leave them alone together. I've heard lots of stories about huskies and cats living together peacefully for a long time then one day the husky kills the cat. Not trying to scare you but just want you to be aware so that the cat stays safe. Hope that helps some. Good luck with your beautiful girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 welcome to the pack, shes stunning, so long as ur sibe gets along with ur cat she might never decide its lunch - any other cats however will more than likely be fair game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazz Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Matt, welcome to the forum. Huskies and cats? They can be an issue. My advice would be to not let the two be alone. Since they seem to get along fine now, it may not be a problem, but to be safe, keep them separate whenever no one is around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elenamarie Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Matthew! You're absolutely correct--Siberians are very different from other breeds and I salute you for recognizing it! There are lots of people here with extensive experience and a desire to help. And of course, we all love to hear about one another's husky high jinks. Love your girl--she's beautiful! to the Redhead club! How in the world did you get her to sit still long enough to take a pic? My girl despises baths and is outta there the millisecond she has a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
