I don't think I'm as afraid of the cat not accepting Chester as I am Chester not accepting the cat. Dogs are very territorial and this has been his domain now for almost three years. I have asked some people at work and have gotten different reactions. Some say to get a kitten instead. Others say to get a full grown one. I don't really see much difference in the size. I think Chester is going to either try and eat him or hurt him. At the same time I would really like for him to have a playmate. I also don't like telling my husband that I do not want a cat when obviously he does. I'm like between a rock and a hard place. He is supposed to pick up the cat, if he wants it, on Friday. I wish I knew if it was going to work out or not. I don't want us to make any hasty or bad decisions. I guess there's only way to find out!
