My two cats have been in an only cat household since we got them. I have a close friend from HS moving back to my town in Dec. and she needs a place to stay and get settled until Feb. when her husband will be moving back here too.
I would have no problems with having a houseguest however she does have a 2 year old dog. As she says, the dog is well behaved but not obedience trained and has not been around cats. My friend says the only command she really knows is sit.
The room I'd been giving her and the dog is a basement room in my 3-level townhome. The room opens up to a fenced in backyard where the dog could easily roam and play. Her intention is to send the dog to "day care" during the day as to not complete disturb the workings of our house.
My kitty girls are both pretty scared girls, Lilly more so than Ebony. They tend to run and hide rather than face confrontation.
I don't know if it would be a good idea to combine them with the dog though. Any ideas, advice or suggestions on if and how we could make this work would be appreciated. Thanks.
