We have all ready made some progress.
Last night at around 2am I was awoken by kitty headbutts and purring in my face. I was so happy that she wasn't upset with me anymore. She stayed in bed with me for the rest of the night. When we got up this morning I brought her into the kitchen, fiance had taken the dog outside, and gave her her wet food for breakfast. She wasn't comfortable eating in the kitchen so I brought her bowl back to my room for her to eat. I went back to the kitchen to put down the dogs food and let the dog inside and I went around the corner to see Dori sitting there on the table in the kitchen watching the dog eat! I was so suprised but didn't make a big deal out of it. I just kind of ignored them. She sat there for awhile then went and sat in the dining room window, with the dog right near her. They both seemed to be ignoring eachother for the most part which I think is good for now because the dog seems to be getting used to seeing a cat.
Also, I brought the dog outside a couple of hours later and as I was about to bring him in I saw Dori sitting near the sliding glass door. I stood there with the dog for a moment to see what Dori would do and she walked closer to the glass. I opened the door just a bit and they sniffed eachother through the crack! I think this is great progress for the only being the 3rd day right?
I am wondering, the dog is going to the vet for a check up in a week. How long do I need to wait before neutering him? My signs are still out, and if he is purebred I am worried he might be used for breeding.... I just don't know how long I have to wait for someone to claim him before doing so. I keep thinking if someone had Dori when she was lost I would feel sad if they claimed her for their own. So I am very torn about this. Any ideas?
