Hi, I'm new to the forum and new to cats. Enlighten me! I want to know all.
The closest I've ever came to owning a cat is having two horses named Cougar and Kity. I took care of a kitten who had a mental defect when I was young but he saddly was put down. Consitering adopting an older cat this Christmas. I've got a soft spot for elderly animals. Special needs, short lives and all. I'd love to go to a shelter and take one of the older ones home. My only concern is I do have three dogs. Two are 6 months old and the other is 11. The pups live outside but my older dog lives in the house. It's not that she hates cats but she has never gotten along with them. Sometimes she chases them. Most of the time she ignores them. Would it be ok bringing a cat into our home around Christmas?
I don't want to upset my dog or the cat. My dog is pretty chill. She loves my rodents, tolerates puppies, adores children, and seems to ignore cats 80% of the time unless they get close to her and she's feeling playful. Her playfulness is reduced to almost nothing as she's getting on in her years and is just a big cuddle bug herself.
If we do decide to bring a kity home how do you introduce them?
Any other things you think I should know about tell me. I want to know all there is to know.
