I have a 7 year old cat. I also have an 8 year old dog. Recently I adopted another dog, a puppy. And since we brought the puppy home my cat has not left the basement willingly. Now like I said I had a dog a year before I adopted my cat so she it's not like she's never seen a dog before. And the puppy doesn't show any interest in the cat at all. Anyone have any tips on how to get her to come upstairs, I should add that she use to love to come upstairs, she had several little spots she 'claimed' as her own.

She is probably leery of the puppy, which is a strange animal to her even though you've already had a dog. The puppy may just be too active and noisy for her.

If you can crate the puppy from time to time and bring the cat up and let her have a special treat close by, this may get her used to the presence of the puppy. Don't force the issue when the puppy is loose, however.
