So I have posted on my FB but I am going to be rescuing a cat/kitten in the forseeable future and would like to know what most folks (with cats-and I have had cats before) think would work best with a crazy high drive dog.
I do have house rules and don't want mayhem in the house and Beau gets plenty of excercise but I am thinking a mellow cat might be our best option. Definitely doing the rescue thing here - and know there are some Maine **** crosses and Egyptian Mau crosses as well as just generic at the shelter who will adopt to us (and they also allow cats to be indoor/outdor)...But realize the breed of anything will likely be unknown and I am wondering what characteristics to look for at the shelter people have found who work best, tend to be homebodies, affectionate, and not neurotic.
I am pretty sure watching Beau ignore the chipmunks and his behavior around loose cats in the neighborhood that he is going to do just fine though will probably be a challenge wanting to play.
It was quite hard finding a shelter who would accept the fact that I do NOT immunize Beau regularly for Distemper/Parvo but do Titers instead. Good Grief! I am one not to tell folks what they want to hear though but tell it like it is.
