NEED ADVICE PLEASE
I am considering moving into a room share situation. I have two
medium sized cats. One has been around dogs and is fine and the other is a question mark. The house I'm looking at has a 4 and 1/2 month old Rottweiler Terrier mix. The owner is training him well but I am just wondering WHAT THE CHANCES ARE that it will attack my cats and/or never get along with them and visa versa. PLEASE HELP! I have to tell them today if I'm taking the room. Thanks! Happy |

That can cover many different types of training. As for me...I would not want to move into a house under these circumstances because it sounds like you really don't know how the dog will react, and possibly not how your cats will react. Since you only mentioned taking "a room," that also raises some possible issues. MaryL |

Since you only mentioned taking "a room," that also raises some possible issues. MaryL I have to agree with Mary. Have you asked the owner about the dog's history/temperment/etc.? Since he's young it's possible he'll adjust to cats easily, but it could be stressful for your one cat if she/he hasn't been around dogs before. I'd ask a lot of questions before committing to this. |

I see trouble in the cards for you in the near future. My advice is to simply get rid of the cats. You can always get new ones later. Just don't expect your new boyfriend to carry the load by getting rid of his dogs. You're the newcomer. IBen |
