Do you think this is unfair to cats?

I know a couple of people who have owned the same cat for several years, then they decide to get a rather obnoxious dog, and the cat suddenly gets rather rejected because all the attention is taken up by the dog. The cat feels threatened by the dog, and spends the rest of it's life having to avoid the dog, in it's own home, and the humans don't care to train the dog to get along with the cat.

Do you think this is fair on cats, especially older cats having to accept a young dog into a place that's been the cat's home for years. I don't think it's fair.

I think it is very unfair to the cat and it's negligent of the owners not to train the dog to get along with the cat. In my house, cats and dogs have lived together happily for four decades. The cats and dogs have been best friends.

Agreed. That's grossly inconsiderate to the cat, which loses its safety in its lifetime home, and loses the attention of the people.

Yes, not bothering to make sure a newly acquired pet will be compatible with an existing pet is very unfair. A caring owner should always consider how the existing pet is going to cope with any new addition to the household, because that is all part of the picture.

I think it's unfair. It's like the cat is no longer wanted
