Dolores Catania’s Security Footage Reveals the *Unexpected* Development at Her House (VIDEO)

The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom was not expecting to come home to *this* scenario.

By Casey Suglia

Dolores Catania loves her children — Gabby and Frankie Catania — and she loves the family's pets, too. The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom's daughter, Gabby, is a veterinarian who loves animals, but that doesn't mean her dogs are always on their best behavior, all of the time. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and Bravo.  

Gabby currently lives in Dolores' primary house in New Jersey with her pets (more updates on that down below), while Dolores lives with her boyfriend, Paul "Paulie" Connell in his stunning New Jersey house. But even though Dolores is not living with her daughter in the same house, she is still able to pop by for a visit, getting the chance to see their dogs. Dolores showed off just how adorable the dogs can be taking to her Instagram account recently, and posting a photo of them kissing her on the porch.

But, they can be a little naughty, too. In a video, posted in the carousel, the front door to the house mysteriously opens. One dog (with a slipper in their mouth) saw this as an opportunity to escape, choosing to run through the front door, with the rest of the dogs following behind them. Dolores later disciplined the dogs, telling them to sit before grilling them on their escape. "I wanna know, right now, who did it?" Dolores asked them.

"Who was the first one to get out that door? You're bad! All of you!" The Traitors Season 3 cast member exclaimed.

She later offered up an assessment on the moment. "They're sugar and spice...until the door opens," she wrote in the caption of the post, tagging Gabby in the photo.

Dolores Catania explains Gabby Catania's living arrangements

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish in November 2024, Dolores revealed that Gabby is currently living in her primary house with her dogs after Frankie moved in with his girlfriend. Although it sounds a little lonely, Dolores said that Gabby does not seem to mind.

"She likes living alone," Dolores said. "She says the house stays clean that way. With six dogs and herself. I'm like, 'OK whatever, Gabby.' So then I was kidding around with her last night. I was like, 'Oh Gab, you know, maybe I'll just come back a few days a week and just hang out since you're here alone.' She's like, 'I didn't ask you to do that.' So I'm like, 'I got you.'"

But Dolores just wants to spend time with their kids, especially since she feels as if she doesn't see them enough. "Both of my kids are workaholics, so I don't see them as much and Gabrielle is working seven days a week," she noted. "She's getting better and better at what she's doing because she does a lot of surgeries, she loves surgery. And she just got an award the other day for all of her work with rescues.
