Why is my Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua mix afraid of cats?
Well, my dog usually starts shaking and tries to hide behind me when she sees a cat. She also barks and growls at them sometimes.
It sounds like your dog might be exhibiting signs of fear aggression towards cats. This could be due to a lack of socialization with cats when your dog was a puppy. Have you tried exposing your dog to cats in a controlled environment to help alleviate her fear?
