Responsible cat/dog intro?
Looking for advice from those of you
who have experience with a combined dog/cat household. My husband is wheelchairbound and loves interacting with animals but is not interested or able to do any training. Our dog Angel is very "Terrier" not interested in pats and cuddles, and not intereted in people who don't do fun things. So she pretty much ignores him, even though they are home alone together a lot. I'm thinking about finding an affectionate cat for Per. I'd like to "rescue" an adult cat of known temperament. I can afford the cat's food and medical care; it would need to be an "indoor cat." I have no problem with taking car of cat sand and so on - I'm already picking up after both doggy and hubby, after all. My questions: Is it possible that Angel, a typical terrier about cats, too, could make friends with one individual cat? Vice versa, am I likely to find an adult cat willing to become happy housemates with a dog? How would I go about determining potential competability and and introducing them to each other? Is this even feasible? Polara and Angel in Oslo |
