    Can you bring a friends dog over to see how your cat reacts? It really depends on the cat, I had a cat and dog and they were best friends. It might take some time for the cat to get used to a puppy.

    Expect it to take some time for them to get along. It's taken about a year for my dog and cat to get along. Also, you might be better off adopting an older dog that has been cat-tested. You don't want to get a puppy and find out that it has a high prey-drive and wants to kill your cat.

Our Lhasa is now 10 months old. As a puppy we have had food available pretty much at all times, but maybe he's getting past that now, and for his weight should maybe only be fed about a cup to a cup and a half of his dog meal a day. We have been using Wysong, by the way, and it seems to have a...
