Dogs Training Blog

Once my kitten is weened at 6 weeks I’ll be bringing him home. I have been trying to find a proper companion for my 7 year old dachshund so he’ll have a buddy while I’m at school. I adopted 2 dogs from the pound and they both had neurological problems from distemper from being neglected at the pound and I rehomed both dogs, but I think my dog will do better with a cat. I kitten trained him 3 years ago when I adopted a young kitten and he kind of raised it and they were best friends until a bus driver killed my cat on purpose and ran over him because she said he was slowing the kids from getting on the bus . I’m normally a dog person, but want to mix it up a bit with a kitten because A:) I have a mental 2 dog limit and I want my Next dog to be a large breed for when I move out of this apartment, and I don’t want THREE dogs, I think 2 dogs and a cat is more balanced for the future but ANYWAYZ . . . It’s been a while since I’ve had a cat and I’ve only had one once in my life and I’m partial to dogs but am ready to open my heart to the perfect cat because my little Thomas Earl needs a friend and I was told by a lady at PetsMart that Dachshunds always get along well with cats so PLEASE tell me ANY advice you have to prepare me for this new Kitten of mine, how I can make him happy, tips on raising him with my dog AND Bird, good cat food, what to expect and just whatever! I already have my kitty’s name picked out! I named him/her Haiku because he/she looks like a little chinese man the first time i saw him and he’s got siamese coloring. plus I can’t tell if he’s a boy or a girl cuz I don’t know how with cats but that name can go either way lol
