Answers:
if the dog is just being playful, not aggressive, and your kitten is not declawed, they should be alright together as soon as your kitten is an adult cat. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. When one of my dogs gets hyper, he likes to chase and hold down one of the cats. He lets up right away, and they all just run and play. He tried that with the other cat, and he let him know that he didnt like that idea, so he aviods that cat. If you're just trying to get him to lighten up, try making a loud noise if you see it happening, each time. Try a command like "gentle," and pull back on his collar if he's getting rough. Good luck!
you could put them away for a couple of days and put the bull dog with another bull dog and the cat can go with another kitten but only for a couple of days
jaja is funny but does it cries when he jejej puts his paw in its face? if it doesnt then no problem if it does i really dont know what to do im sorry. maybe try yelling at him " dont do that" jejeje
Enforce the fact that this is bad behavior. It all depends on what you do to normally discipline your dog. If he does it in front of you you can give him a little smack on the but of spray him with a water spritzer and say "no" very sternly. I realize he doesnt know whta he is doing could harm the kitten, but this is the only way for now. When the kitten becomes bigger, it will be able to stand its own ground, trust me on that one. U will be back on here asking what you can do to keep your kitten from kicking your pitbull's ****.
Unfortunately until the kitten gets bigger & wiser she is in danger. I had this problem once. It did not end well! My dog was not trying to hurt the kitten, but he loved it to death. You would be best to keep them locked away from each other when you are not around to supervise
