Hi Everyone,
I need some advice from those of you with both dogs and cats. Our girl Breezy is almost 2 and a half years old. We've had her since she was 8 weeks old. Without making a long story even longer, we may be adding a kitten to the family. I found him on a neighbor's lawn. It appears he was born in the neighbor's basement crawl space. ( These neighbors do not live here all year long, they only come down on weekends in the summer.) The kitten has been here with us now for a week. I intended to catch him and bring him to a no-kill shelter but he is still here! I brought him to the vet and he is healthy, about 6 weeks old, but needs to fatten up!
I wasn't thinking of getting a cat, but rather another dog, eventually. I have never had a cat. I would love to hear from those of you that have dogs AND cats. How is it for you guys? How would I keep Breezy out of the litter box? I am also concerned about my relationship with Breezy changing. I don't want it to, I love her so much and I'm worried she will become jealous and start blowing me off. So far she hasn't, but every now and then she looks soooooo sad when I show the kitty any attention. It breaks my heart.
So........help! Please share your dog/cat experineces with me so I'll know better what to do with this tiny kitty. Thanks!
