Two gentle Maine Coons accept puppy into their home day one

This is a warming video. A family have a couple of gorgeous Maine Coons and they decided to adopt a fluffy puppy (8 weeks old Maltipoo puppy, Leyla). The take pretty bold but sensible steps to introduce the puppy to the resident Maine Coons. Within a day there is acceptance and no hissing or objections it seems from the Maine Coons. A great result in football parlance.

RELATEDTip on introducing a new cat to a resident cat.

I like the way they used a large indoor cage for the puppy to allow the cats to get used to the smells and presence of their new canine friend. I don't think you can ever be sure how resident cats will get along with a newcomer, cat or dog, until it happens.

The outcome must be dependent of two possibilities (1) the cats are already socialised to dogs, so probably no problem or (2) the character of the cats is great for accepting a new dog. They have placid personalities which seems to the case in this instance.

Mutual play is a great way to socialise a newcomer to resident companion animals don't you think? They forget themselves and focus on playing as you see in the video. They are distracted from the fact that they hardly know each other and in playing they become acquainted quickly.

I believe that the owner is an artist: Murat Isik Art.
