I have an awesome orange & white male tabby (Jake) who is my baby! He is the most people friendly; dog-like cat I have ever seen. He constantly follows me around, sits on me (or my husband) whenever he can, is a big 'talker', comes and greets us at the door every time we get home, tries to eat food off our plates, and basically smothers me with his love every night in our bed as we try to sleep. He's about 13 yrs old now, but you'd never know it - super healthy and spunky.
The problem... we want to get a French bulldog puppy! Does anyone have any experience with Frenchies and cats? I hear that Frenchies get along with cats quite well.... but how are the cats??? I have lots of info that I've found on the best ways to 'introduce' them slowly... but would appreciate any tips or tricks if you guys have them.
My two main concerns - 1) I don't want my kitty to get too upset with us and 2) my kitty still has his claws. So I'm nervous that he might gouge out a puppy eye! (esp since Frenchies do have bulging eyes that are prone to injury)
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
~Nancy (& Jake the cat)
