KayAnn if it was anyone other than you asking I would think twice. Everyone here knows that you are devoted to Simba and Nala and I have no reason to believe you couldn't be completely devoted to a kitty. I think your idea of borrowing Caeleigh and Orion for a while is an excellent way to get Simba a little more used to a kitty in the house.

When I first got Trevor 11 years ago (he was my first cat) he was only a 3 lb. kitten. My two dogs at the time had never been around cats. I sort of held my breath during those early introductions but soon everyone learned to respect each other. When Andy came along it was a piece of cake. So I have had good luck with adult dogs and kittens. If you do get an adult cat you could ask about their background as to whether they have already lived with dogs. Good luck and keep us posted and thanks for being brave enough and responsible enough to ask for opinions before jumping into this. I wish all pet owners would be as responsible.
