Hi guys, sorry I have been away so long. We have finally gotten everythign in line from the wedding, honeymoon, reception, and all that jazz. Everything is finally settling down. There is a possibility that in the next few weeks that my boys will have a new housemate. She is a three year old spayed black and white shorthair. She originally came from my parents' farm and has had a nice cushy home inside with a family in the city. But alas you know the story...kid grew up went to college can't keep the cat and so on and so forth...I won't repeat the same ol' story. I tried advocating for them keeping it but her parents just won't have it. Anyways they don't want to give it to a shelter but are going to have to if someone doesn't take her, and I dont' want her to end up with someone who won't absolutely love her because she came from my parents. Anyways my mom may keep her but she doesn't know if she really wants another cat yet, because she just lost her dear Symba last year and isn't really ready yet:( . So I may take her. How can I go about preparing my boys for a new arrival. They are littermates and have been together their whole life, which is only a little over a year but still a long time. They have had us all to themselves, do you think it could be a potential problem? They don't mind when my mom brings her little Lhasa up, but would a cat be different? Plus she comes from a one cat household, but is sharing it with a little dog right now. How can I make this be less traumatic for both sides? Thanks again, and it sure feels good to be back :)
