Unfortunately, there isn't anything that is going to bother the dogs and not your kitty. I would recommend exploring physical barriers if possible - something like the green chicken wire fencing that dogs can't walk through, but you can see through fine.

Hello, My guess is that it is a raccoon paw print. Healthy nocturnal animals are rarely viewed by humans due to their shy natures and ability to hide. I would recommend ensuring your cat is up to date on rabies vaccinations. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I would ask your Veterinarian for an oral sedative for you to give 2 hours before travel. I would use the Feliway spray in his carriage. Once you arrive at your new home, he should be kept in a room by himself away from the other animals for a week then use a baby gate at the door for the him to see and greet the other cat and dog. Do that for a week, then remove the gate. be sure he has access to this room to run away if he needs to. This room can be your bedroom. Use the Feliway diffuser in this room. If there is aggression between the cats use the Feliway Multicat I wish you the best! https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=37241 https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=37240 https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=37242

Look for low to medium energy dogs that don't have high prey drive. Many rescue dogs have been in foster homes with cats or have been cat tested and you may look specifically for one of these. A puppy is also an option since it will grow up with Jackie but puppies tend to chew on and chase cats which most cats dislike. Older dogs who have been around cats with good manners are generally more acceptable to a cat. Jackie will likely be afraid of any dog at first and you should not be discouraged if there is hissing and hiding. Make sure to keep the dog on a leash and to closely supervise all interactions until you are sure the two are safe together. It may take a few weeks before things quite down. Jackie will feel more secure if she has a tall cat tree or shelves that she can climb and observe the new dog. This is instinctual and can help her to feel more safe. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be serious and he should be evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. They would be able to evaluate this further and determine what would be the safest way to get it off. How to get it off depends on the chemicals of the product which they would know with you providing that information and also based on the extent of the damage. Best of luck!
