[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Op again. Thanks so much! The problem with a puppy is we already have cats. If we got lucky with the right dog I could see that being great for her but I’ve heard so many bad stories about dogs having to be re-homed — that would make her life much worse.[/quote]

You can get a dog or puppy that's already been fostered in a home with cats.   Your cats might be pissed off for a bit, but they would come around.  A new puppy would also be a great reason for your daughter to invite a friend for a walk. [/quote]

+1. We got a dog that came from a home with cats. She’s been here since November and has become the whole family’s emotional support animal in quarantine.  But my junior who did not want a dog at all has bonded with the dog completely.  It has been so good for her.  We brought the home and out cats freaked out. So we brought out the wet cat food and spent some time everyday coaxing them closer.  (The dog never blinked— sure enough, used to cats). As I’m typing, one of our cats is asleep on the soft less than six inches from the snoring dog.

Puppies are also great because they are young and small enough for your cat to train.

Helps to give the cats a safe space away from the dog, especially at first.  We put a baby gate at the top of the basement steps with enough room for the cats to go underneath. [/quote]
