My hubby loves our Maggie, but he does sometimes get irritated when we have to plan our schedule around her potty. She potties only outside and I won't have a doggie door because I would not want her in and out unattended. We have to get someone to let her out when us or our kids aren't home, and they are 18 and 21, so not around all that much anymore.
You need to think about whether that will a problem, for long days and/or overnights. If not, then go for it. Make sure you look at it from his side. Potty is the only reason I'd say a cat is better than a dog.
When we got Maggie, my brother's cat was on his last legs and I figured they'd be able to watch her from time to time. A few weeks before the cat died they found a kitten outside! That would probably have been ok.....but then they adopted a second one and found yet another one! Haven't tried Maggie around them, they are bigger than she is. So much for her staying there. I can have them come let her out, but haven't figured out how to go away overnight when the kids aren't around. She would get so lonely alone all day. |
