I have one cat in the house, Oliver, the siamese 9 mos, a dachshund 5 years, and a cairn 7 mos. Shadow decided he didn't want to come back in the house and I thought it would be tough on him since he has always been an outdoor cat. Besides, Oliver was outright attacking him, so I can't blame him for not wanting to come back inside. I have my Large breed Mix dog 8 years, and 3 cairns outside - two that are 1 year and one that is 7 mos, 6 barn cats (all rescue) various ages, and 4 horses various ages, with a foal on the way. Oh and two teenage boys. No one is lacking attention around here, ESPECIALLY Oliver. He is in your face and on your body --We call him a lint ball. Oliver enjoys playing with the indoor dogs and "fighting" with them and doing his sneak attacks. The strange thing is when I go to someones house that has an indoor cat, I usually never see it because they hide and maybe come out just before leaving. Oliver on the other hand is unlike any cat I have ever owned and will immediately sit in companys lap! Guests comment about how friendly he is. He actually gets the most attention out of everyone since he demands it! That is why I say we have a love/hate relationship with this cat. He is the friendliest cat we have EVER owned. As for all the dogs...we own a 26 acre farm and I take them on walks/runs around our property. Keeping track of 6 dogs running in different directions is sometimes difficult but they love the freedom and hunting for voles and mice. We are in the process of fencing all our property and the dogs will have a yard of about 2 acres to run safely as well as supervised runs on the rest of the property. We have a coyote problem so we have to be very careful that no one gets distracted and lost. I may do invisible fence still to keep them out of the flower beds and garden.
