Life: Lulu The Rescue Cat
Meet the newest member of the Scouty household: LuLu !!
She is a beautiful 11 year old rescue. The friendliest cat I have ever met. I could swear she was a dog. Can you tell I have always identified as a dog person?
We went in to look and as always when I have entered a shelter, came away with a lifelong member. Thank you, Seattle Humane Society for keeping her safe until she found a place in our heart.
Her flaw that made her owner of 11 years give her up? She wasn't good with using her kitty box after a move. Do you blame her? Anyway, we are all in love. Well, all of us, but the pooch who has yet to meet her.

Aren't kitties to eat? Nom, nom?Seb has never lived with a kitty. Lulu has never lived with a dog.
For now, she is quarantined with pink bed, pink toys, and purple accessories in my daughter's room. We've been advised to wait a week or two, until they notice and become curious about each other through the door.
They have met once through the door. Seb was oblivious, but Lulu not too excited by the crazy sounds she was making. Seb is lucky that Lulu had a door and declawed front paws or something tells me that cute strawberry nose would have been shredded.
So crossing my fingers that they figure it out. Any advice for kitty box training or introducing dogs? I'd love any help we could get!!
PS There is a very long story that involves parenting ridiculous-ness as to why my daughter earned a kitty, but that is a long story for another time. Stay tuned...

You could put the cat in one room, the dog next door, and put a baby gate between the rooms so they can see each other through the bars? It's highly unlikely the cat will jump into the dog's area!
As for litter training....I'd imagine it's the same as for kittens. Put the cat in it as soon as she has finished eating and also as soon as she wakes up. She'll soon get used to it.
Good Luck!
id go a lil further with the baby gate idea and use 2. stacking one on top of the other. and make sure theyre very secure. whatever you do, do not hold kitty when the introduction is made... that could end very badly for you.
