We had the cats first then we got grayson, he has got swatted alot but my cats are de-clawed so I know he isn't getting hurt. Your Bella will prob. keep her distance my cats did with grayson it took a good month for them to warm up to him and still they don't like him much just tolerate him at best

Good luck!

Hi Mike!

I had a cat once. I loved Magnum (the cat) but I will not get another cat. The litter box is a mess and no matter what anyone tells you it smells! The other thing is the shedding. I grew up with non-shedding dogs (Poodles, Bouvier & now Yorkies) and I can't stand the shedded hair. There is just no way to clean it all up. It's on your clothe, bed, sofa, car, etc. It's been 8 years since Magnum died and I still find his hair once in a while.

I know some people don't mind the shedding and love cats so if I rubbed you the wrong way, I'm sorry. I surely didn't intend my post to offend anyone.

I have both dogs and a cat. If you would like to get a cat either male or female my best recommendation is to research Ragdoll kittens. It is the best choice I ever made. I have a female ragdoll named Sophia "see pic below" and she's the sweetest, most well mannered cat ever imaginable. She gets along lovely with children, dogs, and people in general. Her name says it all you can hold her like a ragdoll, she's adorable and lovable. The breeder I received her from had approximately 15 cats both adults and kittens. We went to visit Sophia when she was kitten before she was allowed to go home with us. The male and female cats were so well mannered, friendly and docile I was amazed how they would just come up to me and sit next to me. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

wife wrote me back, she was looking at the tiny kittens our local petstore has early this week. seems they won't be ready for a home for another week or so. so she's was thinking it over. Mentioned the stinky box,kinda of changed her mind.

But I got her to consider a chihuahua puppy. I know Bella will love to have another dog in the house. and with a quick $200. swipe of my MC. {well online purchase I got her a toy chi with a necklace and a card saying when I come home,we will go puppy shopping} Man I'm quick on my feet. LOL I know she's lonely. so am I.
and I've been wanting another dog badly anywhoo.

Ya I spoil my Ladies. but a guys got to make up for the time away. and they put up with me.

Mike now to listen to the guys in my shop make fun of me some more. {the AT crew here says Hi to ya'll

Well thank the lord I do not have litter problems with my Sophia

She is trained to use the toliet just as you see in the movie "Meet the Fockers". It was so very easy to train her. Just as you would train your yorkies to use the wee wee pads.

You are a smart guy Mike. A shiny puppy and shiny jewelry. What could be better? A great choice!
My daughter had a cat and our two Yorkies at time would constantly chase the poor cat and of course eat the cat nuggets. It was a chore to keep them out of the cat box.
Thanks for your service!
