Ah I see, I didn't realize that there had been a previous incident with your dogs being around cats. That's too bad! But, when you are ready and decide to get a cat, I'd be willing to bet that you will find another cat that would be perfect. After getting Belle, I kept thinking that yes I love her, but I probably wouldn't love another cat because I just didn't consider myself a cat person. Then along came Katie, and I fell in love again. Funny how it happens. Someday, you'll have THE cat but in the meantime, it probably would be a good idea to keep your dogs away if something happened before.
