Okay I don’t feel so bad about not letting him out now! I have those same worries, I messaged his mums owner a couple weeks ago to update her on his progress. Sadly his mum has since passed as she got knocked down
, that’s what changed my mind about letting him out. But like you say he seems to want to. I also get a look of disgust from him when we let our dog in the garden and not him, he watches him outside until he comes back in
.
Regarding tips about dogs and cats getting along, I think the fact that we had our dog first was a bonus. He was very excited at first and the cat wasn’t sure. We put our dog on a lead and let them sniff each other, everytime the dog was calm he got a treat, it only took 20 minutes to get them both loving each other. I think we were lucky. I think you should be fine with your future pup liking your cats but I’m not sure an older cat will take to new dog. I might be wrong Any one else know ?
@MaineCoonMama out of interest how big are your Maine coons ? I didn’t know what one was until the vet mentioned the breed! (See such a ignorant person
). But wow ! The size some of them grow too I was shocked !! Are yours any where near as big as Google leads one to believe ? X
. Meet Alberto (the wonder cat). The wonder cat bit was inspired by the film Beaches (Pouncer, Pouncer the wonder cat, I'm so glad you're not a rat or a bat or too fat). He now how his own Jingle "He's Alberto the wonder cat, yah!". It comes complete with jazz hands.
