Our Whippets Meet Kittens

Our whippets, Snoot and Snilly, meet and interact with our newly adopted kittens for the first time! Introducing kitten(s) to dogs was quite the process, some of which I didn't even capture on camera. It starts with familiarizing them with each other's scents: we had a blanket that the dogs love and we had it in the room from the first day the kittens arrived. When the kittens were in the closet, we would let Snilly roam around in the room, but still kept them totally separate. Then we moved to visual introductions through barriers using the baby gate. We supervise all face-to-face meetings, especially keeping Snoot on a harness and always rewarded calm behavior with treats for both the cats and dogs. We tried not to force interaction and kept it limited to 10-20 minutes at a time, so neither the dogs, cats, or us got overwhelmed. Over time, they gained confidence and trust with each other. We continue to maintain safe spaces that the cats and dogs can retreat to separately, divided by those handy baby gates. 🐾 Snoot - 9 years old, male 🐾 Snilly - 6 years old, female 🐾 Wonder - 4 months old, male 🐾 Whim - 4 months old, female Timestamps: 0:00 why did we adopt cats? 1:06 adopting the kittens 3:08 first day in our home 5:30 snilly and snoot meet the kittens 7:12 socializing kittens 9:34 trip to the vet 10:42 kittens playing with toys 12:33 second attempt of snoot meeting the kittens 15:18 snilly and snoot playing with the kittens Get to know Snoot, our whippet!    • Meet Snoot the Whippet   Meet Snilly (and watch her grow up from a puppy to 1 year old):    • Meet Snilly: Whippet Puppy to 1 Year Old   What is daily life like for whippets:    • Daily Life of Whippets   Going to the beach!    • Whippets at the Beach! ☀ Indiana Dunes   Instagram:   / a_snoot_named_whippet   Random tags: #whippet #whippetsofinstagram #dog #dogs #doglover #dogphotography #dogplaying #sighthound #greyhound #dogpark #whippets #dogtraining #dogvideos #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dog #snoot #snilly Whippet Information: The Whippet is a British dog breed of medium size. They are a sighthound breed that originated in England, where they descended from the Greyhound. Whippets today strongly resemble a smaller Greyhound. Part of the hound group, Whippets have relatively few health problems. Whippets also participate in dog sports such as lure coursing, agility, dock diving and flyball. The name is derived from an early 17th-century word, meaning to move briskly. Whippets were bred to hunt by sight, coursing game in open areas at high speeds. Whippets are quiet and reserved but also exhibit a playful side, and require regular exercise. They are generally gentle dogs and are often content to spend much of the day resting. The whippet will form a strong bond and devotion to their owner and as such can often suffer from separation anxiety like many other breeds when left alone. They do not bark often but do occasionally in the presence of intruders, making the whippet a passable watch dog similar to other small-medium dogs. However a whippet would likely never attack or guard against anyone due to their gentle and often shy demeanor.
