Hello one and all,
I am going to introduce myself in the correct forum, so will just post my little problem here
I have always had dogs, but always wanted a cat. I never got my cat as I was in a high rise building, and knowing cats can jump pretty high was always scared if I had one it would end up jumping over the balcony...anyway one of my dogs has died aged 12 and I have moved to the country, in a lovely house with a nice big garden, there is a neighbour who knows of a family who's cat seems to always be pregnant, and they don't really look after her, she has not long had another litter, the family now do not want her :x My neighbour is taking in mum and one kitten and has found homes for the other kittens bar one, so I am taking her in....now i'm stuck! Firstly I have a dog she's 13, she is a very gentle and loving dog and if she's anything like when I bought my other dog home when they were young, she will mother it very much, but to be sure I would like some advice on how to introduce the two, also do cats have jabs? If so i will ring the vet for further advice, also apart from food, litter and tray, feeding dish and the main essentials is there anything else I need?...I am due to pick the kitten up in two weeks, when she is 6 weeks old, I am very excited and want to make sure everything is just perfect for when she comes to her new home, any advice on anything you feel I should know or need would be very much appreciated, as i see alot of people are experts on here
sorry for the very long post!
regards
Ash
