    Cat-gratulaions to Marta and Adele on their new sibling!!! She's beautiful! I would just give her more time.

    Congrats on your new additon! She is so pretty!

    I would put the dogs behind a gate or in a crate just in case and hold her up to the cage. She may just get interested.

    Sounds like you're doing everything right -- each dog/cat makes their own unique relationship and only they can decide if they like one another, etc.

    When we adopted Levi and Charity, we'd had our collie for just a few months' time...Levi & Charity were about four months old and they tended to scatter when Bijou (who has a very strong herding instinct) came around. Now, six months later, Levi and Bijou are best buddies, often playing and romping together and grooming each other, while Charity still tends to think she's much too good for a "working class collie" lol. Bonnie has been my most independent cat, so she and Bijou just co-exist without relating too much -- I would say that overall, they all get along, just in different ways.

    Best wishes, I hope your new addition brings many years of joy!

    Thanks everyone! I guess I will just have to be patient.
    We chose Sein because she is very outgoing and seems to adjust well to new situations, so I think her personality will help her get used to her new home. So far everything is going okay, and the dogs are not hovering over the gate and everyone seems pretty comfortable, Sein would just prefer to maintain some distance.
