Hee, I'll keep that in mind lashie. :p

Still working up to introducing him to the dogs. We're going to get out our big dog crate and crate one dog at a time while the others are outside and let the cat loose. That way we can watch for any posturing or aggression and let them get used to each other safely. When they all seem unimpressed with each other we'll do the face to face. This could be a long process...

I'm sure it isn't recommended by modern pet advisors but whenever we added a new animal in just got thrown into the mix and eventually a new order was worked out.

We never had a dog that didn't end up dominated by whatever cats lived around the house.

Even the opposum and squirl? ;)

Well, we didn't do this on purpose, but it happened anyways. We let the cat be in the same room as the Sheltie and the Sheltie was pretty scared of Snickers. Then later this evening Indi opened the door to the cats room and he bolted out into the room where Karma (the dane that I was concerned about) was. Turns out, Karma was pretty scared of Snickers too. They are looking at each other right now. At least they won't eat each other.

I had a pair of Racoons as pets, a male and female named Rocky and Roxanne. I always wanted a chipmunk as a pet.

I want a new duck...

I'm thinking you can rename a cat. I mean a couple of Lisa's cats have several names and seem to respond to all of them and the ones she adopted must have had other names before meeting Lisa...
