Hello all. So in about a month I'm gonna pick up my new(and first) Great Dane bitch, who is gonna be around 10 months old at the time. What I know about her is that she lived in a small courtyard with 2 other Danes, she had her heat about 2 weeks ago, and that she is okay-ish with other dogs and humans.
Yes, I will have a zoophilic/romantic relationship with my bitch, most likely when her 2nd heat comes.
No, I don't and never will have another relationship with my cat other than pet-parent. I'm only interested in bitches and mares.
My cat is a male, a year and half old. He's a little bad tempered, like all cats. Likes to boss my GF around, and really enjoys fighting my hands to try to establish dominance daily, even tho he never succeeds and always shows obedience when he has to.
On the other hand tho, when we have guests, he is the most scared kitty ever and always hides under his 6 feet tree-tower and never comes out until that someone leaves the house.
I've lived with him in my grandparents house for about a month, and it took him the whopping 2-3 weeks to even feel remotely safe around them. And he barely let them touch him before dashing away. They were always super friendly towards him.
We have tried bringing him outside with a cat harness, but he refused to step one foot out the door. If I pick him up and place him outside, he just crawls and freezes and doesn't move/jumps on the front door, begs to go back in, so I gave up on that and decided it's best for him to not do that if he doesn't like it.
The bad thing tho, is that he never ever lived near other animals except when he was very young and among his siblings and mom. And the Dane that I'm getting has most likely never seen a cat as well. So overall I'm quite anxious to their meeting and getting along process.
I'm working from home so for the first 2-3 months after I get her there's always gonna be someone near them to avoid any unwanted scenarios.
Yes I've already red and watched a ton of stuff about getting them along, but I would appreciate if anyone that has been in a similar situation share some advices on how you approached the situation.
