stress

Whether it is dog with dog, cat with cat, or a mixed household, introductions work better through structure than through hope for instant harmony.

Make a factual behaviour log for a veterinarian or trainer, with safe management while the pattern is assessed.

Noise fear rarely disappears through pressure or argument. Safety, distance, and calm support are usually more helpful.

Plan access, toilet breaks, household roles, and recovery before a noisy celebration begins.

Protect meals and resting spaces, prevent close approaches, and prepare information for veterinary and behaviour support.
