Ok, it's probably not at ALL what you're thinking, it's actually kinda stupid but I'm so excited!!!
My dad said Kiba can stay with us at his house!! Ok, let me explain. My mom and dad are obviously not living together. At my moms I have Kiba and mom has Smitten (2 cats) and at my dads I have my 2 dogs. Dad never liked cats so he wouldn't let me have them at home (where I live). Since I got Kiba, I've basically moved to my moms till the start of the month when I moved home (and kiba is older) but now with school, it's just to far out of the way and I can't stay there. I almost have no time to go visit her either. (I use to stay over there a few nights a week to be with her if I wasn't living with my mom) but I can't even really do that.
The other day I was visiting her and she wasn't like her normal self. She wasn't snuggling or anything liek she usually does. Mom said she doesn't do that anymore. It just made me really upset. Then tonight I was over there and she came over to me and snuggled for a while and was purring and stuff :) So I think it's how my mom treats her..I don't think she gets enough attention cause my mom works all day (sometimes all day and allnight) SO, I asked my dad AGAIN if she could live here and he said YES!!!!! I honestly couldn't believe it! But I know I can give her the proper attention/care that she needs here!!
Only one problem....the dogs don't like cats, and she doesn't like dogs...Is there ANY way that this can work?? I really don't want to stress her out, but I just feel this is best for her in the long run if they can live together....I was thinking she would stay in my room with the door closed for a while so they can get use to the smells. It would have to be when I have time off school so I can spend the time on it..Anyway...anyone do this before? Kiba is almost 1 yr old...she's seen the dogs a few times but didn't like them much. Zeke never tried to hurt her, but he got really excited and didn't knwo what to do (hid his head and stuff ;))
The more I think of it, the more afraid I get. The LAST thing I want is for kiba to be hurt. I was thinking I'd have to muzzel the dogs at first just to see if they'd try to hurt her...I know it sounds mean, but I'd rather be safe...
I hope you guys don't think I'm mean for doing this..I'm still thinking about it..I just really think it would be best for her. I had no idea when I got her that things would turn out this way, it just happened. It really sucks living at 2 places and unfortunatly I don't have the money to buy a house for myself and them (I will NOT move into some crap place with no fenced yard. It wouldn't be fair to my dogs) and I know smitten doesn't like her so she owuld be happier too.
What do you think? How could I do it?
