DH and I are thinking about taking in a kitten. It's about 4-5 weeks old at this point and staying with his sister along with the other kitties.
We're planning on getting them all fixed (there are 4) and maybe keeping the one, which we think is the runt of the litter.
We have two Italian Greyhounds and 1 rabbit. The dogs and the rabbit get along fine. How difficult or easy would it be to integrate a cat into the household?
One of our dogs goes on puppy pads, so we're thinking she might go in the litterbox once we get one for the cat. But do dogs eat cat poop?
Then we're thinking about other things: how do we keep them seperated until they're all used to each other and getting along? I don't want to confine the kitten to a crate all day.
Here are a couple of pics. The black and white one is the one we're thinking about keeping. Any advice would be super helpful! DH and I have never had cats before, so we're kinda lost. We're just trying to figure out logistics.
TIA!
