    Just curious, but … do you have a gate (or gates) in your home to give your Mal some boundaries and allow your cats the freedom of escaping the dog when they need to? We have a gate up in our bathroom, with a small pet door at the bottom, so that when Frankie wants/needs peace from Lacey, he can get it on his own. That way, we don’t have to take turns kenneling Lacey to give Frankie freedom, or closing up Frankie in a room to give Lacey some freedom. Both still have access to the entire house (I’m home all day), and Lacey isn’t destructive; so it’s been a win/win for us. However, some dogs see a gate as a personal “challenge” to be accepted …
