Adding a Kitty

Basenji Talk
  • 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:

  • 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.

    sharron- Diego gets full run of the house for the most part, but all doors shut so can't get into bedrooms/bathrooms. He doesnt do good when you put him in just one room, he tries to get out.. when we bring her home i'm gonna stay home with them for about 3 or 4 days, so i should get a good idea how they are together.. thanks for the help!

    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

    @felakuti: I wonder where the light golden eyes come from…our brindle is from the african project, cayote? jackel? There are a number of different basenji lines that have "light" eyes, both domestic and from the Af project, but the standard for all basenjis is dark eye
