[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for all of these thoughtful responses, which I will certainly share with my husband.  Does anyone have any other suggestions for a good breed to consider?  In researching dogs that will be good for our cat, I also came across an American Eskimo.  I really do not want to traumatize our sweet cat, but we have held off on getting a dog for three years of begging, and I really think the kids are ready.[/quote]

OP, my husky mix (but mostly husky) adores cats and kittens. Think bathing kittens and letting them curl up on his feet or in his neck fur. I have an elderly cat I took on due to a relative's medical issues, she seriously disliked the dog for months, but now every night they both come up on my bed and thge husky gives her a lengthy bath and also nips at her fur (evolutionary bug removal?? no idea). she looks terrible afterwards, her fur all damp and clumpy, but if he doesn't initiate she goes up to him for her grooming. I would think American Eskimo would likely share similar traits? [/quote]

I love this post![/quote]
