For some reason, cats accept kittens. I once adopted an adult cat from a shelter and unfortunately had to return it because the new cat started having a "pee fest" in the house. I have adopted two kittens since then and no problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-14866970826958434252009-11-24T19:57:19.917-05:002009-11-24T19:57:19.917-05:00Anonymous whose husband does not want another cat....Anonymous whose husband does not want another cat.<br />Actually your husband has a very valid point.<br />Your 7 year old "Suki" is used to being the only cat, yes you had a dog (and I am so sorry that your dog passed) but that was a cat living with a DOG. Your 7 yr old cat is used to being the only cat. 7 is considered a senior for cats. <br />What I would try (if you can persuade your husband) is the same perfume "trick" that I used when I introduced our dog to our resident cat.....not sure if it will work but it is worth a try....(read my blog on introducing a cat to a dog).....it is quite possible Suki will act out regardless. <br />If you don't try the perfume trick you would have to keep them separate for a week or so and introduce them to each other bit by bit.<br />Let me know what you decide to do!Cat and DOG Chat With Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666719374831725417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-59906534087467970852009-11-23T16:18:22.600-05:002009-11-23T16:18:22.600-05:00You are sooo right about cats owning humans- quite...You are sooo right about cats owning humans- quite a few folks I know thought it ould be a great idea, -until the cute kitten phase faded away- thanks for bringing this up! -Ms. Z.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-62335098031046322482009-11-23T15:38:19.074-05:002009-11-23T15:38:19.074-05:00Any advice on how to get a husband to accept anoth...Any advice on how to get a husband to accept another cat? Since our little dog died, our 7-year old Siamese x "Suki" is lonely and bored. I want to adopt a companion kitten from the local shelter, but hubby is violently opposed. He feels the cat is "fine", and has traumatic memories of when we introduced Suki as a kitten to an older cat who acted out, clawing carpets and peeing on laundry. I told him this time will be different, but he is skeptical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182681216854437149.post-79344835618607825582009-11-23T15:21:59.996-05:002009-11-23T15:21:59.996-05:00I wanted to tell you that I have always told mysel...I wanted to tell you that I have always told myself that I wouldalways treat my cats and dog(all girls)just like I would have treated the "little girl" that I never had!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
