He is a beagle who will only bark when he needs to go outside or wants more food. We are very lucky. But, there are 2 dogs that don't socialize with other dogs that he barks and howls at when they pass by the house. The owners of the 2 dogs think he is adorable and laugh when he does this but we want this behavior to stop. Other dogs in the neighborhood also bark and growl at these 2 dogs too.

I have 4 cats and tonight I'm going to get another cat (not kitten) from a friend who can't keep the cat. Does anyone have good suggestions for getting the cats used to each other quickly? How can I convince my existing cats to get along with the new cat?
