Hi, everyone! I am new to this forum. I have a Siamese/Ragdoll kitty that has been the queen of the castle for all 4 years of her life and we've never had any other cat. We had a dog when we got her but he was an old fuddy dud who didn't give 2 hoots about Molly (even though she tried her darnedest to get a rise out of him). Anyway, he died of cancer at age 14 in summer of 06'. Then this past summer we adopted a dog from the Humane Assn. and it was AWFUL! Molly was terrified of the new dog, even though the dog didn't go after her, and she woudn't come out from under our bed, even after 3 weeks. Well, for many other reasons as well, we had to take the dog back to the Humane Assn. (she became extremely over protective of our kids and treid to attack one of our son's little friends when they were horsing around ). Anyway, we decided then that another dog was out of the question.
But, what about a kitten? I mean, how do we know if she'll have a toxic reaction again and never come out from under the bed? I don't want to traumatize her but have thought it would be really nice to get a boy kitten. Is that a bad idea?
WDYT? Thanks for any insight and advice you can provide!
BTW, we have a neighbor kitty who is an indoor/outdoor cat and he comes by in the summer and gets on our deck and will sit 4' in front of Molly with just the screen door between them and Molly will watch him and then after about 15 minutes, loses interest and just walks away. She doesn't get upset at all that he's there. But if a squirrel gets that close, she'll take off running to go hide! LOL
