Happy for War Horse winning it's Tony.
I think so. Either get a young dog that you can train or try to find a dog that is already used to cats.

I can get my cats used to it, right?
I've never had any particular trouble. Usually they declare a truce once it becomes clear that the annoying new animal is not going away. My aunt's Siamese decided that the new chihuahua was a defective kitten and would occasionally grab him, hold him down and lick him clean, since he obviously had no grasp of hygiene.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Shelters will often have an idea of how their dogs will handle cats.

I am really only worried about one of the grumpy old men cats, Oz. He is 12 and a scaredy, but he masks that with mean. He's 15 lbs and has claws, so it could get ugly at times. He'll also pee on things if he gets too mad at me.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Just remember, Cashmere, that an atheist can make better arguments if he can quote Scripture back at a believer. And also, it's basic cultural literacy. (A friend of mine wanted to make a study question at the end of her long retelling of Moby Dick: "Do you now know why you should read all of Shakespeare and the Bible?" but the editor talked her out of it.)
Gar, I'm so pleased to hear that all is well!

msbelle, I was just thinking that it might be a good thing for mac to have a dog around. He sounds like the kind of kid who'd benefit from one.

I'd say go to fostering groups who will allow for a return without drama AND ones that classify their dogs as things like cat friendly/cat-ignore/no cats. Some can be a little insane, but they do tend to screen well. Technically, my neighbor is fostering Angus this week (smalltown SPCA,) but we all know how it'll turn out.

I saw baby ducks on my stairway walk today and they were pretty darn cute.
