I have an old orange cat (9 years). When we got our first puppy moka (big dog = big puppy) the cat wasn't too interested.
The stair thing happened to me too where I'm trying to call the dog up the stairs from the basement so she could go pee outside and the cat was there blocking the dog. The cat normally doesn't like the dog but in this case because of my request, I was forcing the dog to get close to the cat. What ended up happening was that the dog pee'd in the basement because it couldn't come up.
1 thing - I don't hold back the dog. If the cat wants to pick one with the dog, I let it happen. They learn their place and get to know each other's limits.
2 thing - I decided that next time instead of continuously calling the dog to try and get her to come up the stairs, I would hiss at the cat so it would get out of the way. And that did work.
