On Sunday night, my cat Raven gave birth to 4 kittens. They are doing brilliantly, fat, happy, noisy, cuddly. Raven has recovered well and is behaving like her usual super-friendly self.There's only one problem: my dog is terrified of the kittens.

He's a two year old Border Terrier, extremely loving and happy. Raven is his best friend; the best day of his life was the day we brought her home. They have always been close and playful. They're not playing as much now because Raven is tired but they are still affectionate towards one another. She came to us at 6 weeks old (!) so he has been around kittens before.I just can't understand why he is afraid of them. He has been raised around small animals from 8 weeks old - his best friend as a puppy was my rat Daniel, and even now he loves my rats. He plays with them and understands he has to be gentle, he has never even come close to hurting them.

I have never seen an option to calm my scared dog down. I get a pop-up saying that he's afraid of something and just needs time to calm down. I don't know what he's afraid of exactly. He gets a thought-bubble of a lampshade over someone's head, that's it. It's mind-boggling, because he stays uncomfortable no matter what lot we are on.

So he is not wary of small animals.When my rats are ill or dying, I hold them 24/7, and the dog has always shown curiosity, curling around them on the sofa to keep them warm when I leave the room. So he understands when animals need extra care and gentleness.I recently found an orphaned baby mouse - the dog loved him, gently licked him, looked in my hands when I entered the room. So he understands about babies.He has never been wary around any other animal - but this isn't just wariness, it's fear. When we pick a kitten up, he runs to the other side of the room, ears up, eyes wide. He has shown curiosity the day they were born but was not allowed to touch them, but now when we hold one up for him to sniff he runs a mile. He hasn't been told off for being near them, nor has Raven given him any warnings.I honestly can't understand why he is so scared. Will this continue, or end when they start walking and behaving more like cats?

My dog was the same way when I fostered 4 kittens which wasn't a big problem since once they were bigger they went back to be adopted. The BIG problem began when I rescued 2 puppies and my loving, always sleeps with me 130 lb baby would literally try to jump on the back of the couch to get away from them.

He wouldn't even come in the house. It got to be where I thought the pups were going to have to go.What I noticed though was after much research and an awesome article by Cesar Melan was that I (not my dog needed the help). Now after a month I see him nose to nose with them outside and he will come in at night if I go get him. I think he is/was afraid of hurting them accidentally since the larger they get the more I find them together.The biggest thing I learned (from Cesar) was not to comfort him, give treats, etc, as that was rewarding his fearful behavior which was what I had been doing all along. Now that I have stopped, it is definitely getting better. Good Luck and sorry so long to explain.

Sometimes some dogs are not so much afraid of the kittens, but afraid of what will happen if they hurt the kittens. In their minds they may badly want to eat or bite the kittens, but they know you will be upset or they will get into serious trouble. A dog that is afraid of other baby animals should be watched VERY carefully to protect the small or baby animal and prevent disaster and heartbreak. Some dogs just have it in them to want to kill smaller animals and there is almost nothing you can do about it. Please protect your kittens and introduce them to your dog slowly, and do not leave them home alone together without being crated or separated in different rooms.
