Hello, I am getting a kitten in a week or so , 7-8 weeks old. I have 2 westie dogs now. Has anyone added a kitten with over zealous dogs? They have nothing against cats at all. If they come upon one outside they go up and greet it. They do chase squirrels though. So what terrier doesn't chase squirrels? So I am hoping that this goes well.
I know that one of them may give the kitten a run for her money. I have a safe room that the kitten can go. It will be her room with food, littler box, etc.
Everyone I know has expressed their "concern" about this not working out getting a kitten with my dogs. Honestly I am tired of these "concerns". And it's funny none of these "concerned" people have cats.
Now I am starting to doubt myself in thinking what if they are right. Sometimes it's almost like they are just waiting to say "I told you"!!!! if there are problems with adjusting. They are just taking the excitement and joy out of this for me.
Has anyone had a similar situation? Either with the dogs adjusting to the kitten, or with negative people?
What are some ideas that can help with the adjustment to get them not to overly terrorize the kitten?
