Adding a Kitty

    So as of next friday we will be adding a kitten to our home. When Lilu was a puppy my roommate had a cat and lilu could care less about it, she obviously wanted to see what it was and Bob(cat) has no issues with it. However, I am just wondering what I can do to make sure that Lilu and Shalla will get along. Lilu doesn't have much of a chase instinct, a squirell walked right in front of her ans she just stopped to look at like, what the heck is that. Lilu is pretty skiddish with things she is not used to. So any help regarding this would be amazing! Thanks!!:cool:

    We will love them no matter what ![](images/smilies/wink.png "Wink") http://www.youtube.com/user/Kingsley1230 Lilu's page

    hi, i have a 3 yr old. basenji and we just got a kitten 3 weeks ago and it was hard at first. he wanted to play with it ruff!. he still does but not soo hard. i used this stuff called apple spray and rubbed it on the kitten for about 4 days. and he started to get more relaxed with the kitten. he's doing better now.

    @Kingsley1230: Thanks for all the input guys! I will definitely get Lilu trained before I bring in a new B. But in the mean time I will be looking for a place to adopt an adult B, I heard eldorado is great. Is this correct? I have 2 Eldorado basenjis and also their male that they imported from Finland. 2 I adopted as adult show dogs retirees. I couldn't be happier with my basenjis. They have wonderful termperaments and Eldorado is big on health testing. The sisters are super helpful and always willing to answer my silly questions. :D

    After watching a show on cheetahs, I think that Basenjis are more like them than dogs, or wolves. They look to have the same light framed body structure, and like to stalk, and paw at things. Medjai also waits and tries to beat other dogs in a race at the dog park.

    my thanks to all of you for your wonderful advice - i will take everything that you all have said into consideration before making a decision - however my wife and i have decided that our grieving over the loss of our 4 year old is not over yet so we are going to delay any decision until we can get past this point - with that in mind, and realizing how difficult these discussions have been for me, i am going to unsubscribe myself from this site until such time as we can come to better terms with our situation - again, my thanks to all of you for trying to help - Manny
