My Cat Bandit is a Siamese cross Dog attacker! He Claws my dogs eats and
bites his tail! My dog is much bigger than Bandit but was abused when she
was a puppy so she is terrified of almost anything. Do you have a solution
to stopping my cat from attacking my dog? I don't want her to get hurt and
as much as I try Bandit won't stop! Do you have a solution?

Has this been going on for some time, or it is a new behavior? Have they
been together long, or have they recently been introduced to the same
household? Is Bandit acting hostile, or does he appear to be playing?
Not knowing any more about the situation than stated in your first post,
what occurred to me originally was to suggest you try spraying some Feliway
on things in their immediate environment -- maybe even on the dog herself!
(It has a calming effect.) There are some other substances that also are
calming, such as Bach Flower, that some other people around here have had
experience with, but I haven't.

If you catch her doing it, keep a squirt bottle filled with water handy -
when you see her "attack" give her a couple squirts (this works for all but
one of my cats, who is completely oblivious to everything except food). You
can try a can filled w/coins and shake it, but that may scare the dog too.
Is she hurting the dog? Mine will put up with most things my cats devise
for them, but if the cats get too carried away the dogs will give the cat a
warning or get up and leave.
