Old dog and kitten

 :cat: Hi, I have an 11 yr old chihuahua and would like to get a kitten. What do you think the chances are for continued household harmony?

i think it could work out.. you'd just have to be patient and get the dog used to the new kitty. he/she would probably adjust to the new addition over time.

It could work out but will likely take a little time. Probably much easier than getting an older cat use to a new dog though.

I think it should be fine, when you bring the cat home she will find a place to hide and she will come out when she feels comfortable....in the mean time the dog will know someone new is in the house. Good Luck!  :cat:

They should get along fine after a while. Just be patient with them. I have 3 dogs and a cat.
