Thread: Should we get Senor a cat?

Well, does he like cats? Would he hurt it? Wouldn't another dog be a better idea? Hi CA!

Good to see you back! -- Never go to bed angry...stay up and plot your revenge.

You'd have to know if he likes cats. I sure wouldn't want to put a little cat with a huge dog without knowing that. Maybe another dog would work out better. Hyacinth

no, I don't think a kitten is the answer. Have you spoken to your vet for some ideas? What about a dog behavioral specialist? Senor sounds lonely and scared to be alone. It will be trial and error but you can do things to help him adjust. Start with your vet. -- Every breath you take... Every move you make...

Senor is so weird, amazing for such a huge dog that sleeps 20 hours per day. He loves cats, we had one back in Michigan but we had to have him stay with neighbors because he couldn't deal with the road. I could get a dog but Senor is top dog and I would feel guilty and he wouldn't care for my affections going towards another dog. I thought a kitten might be a good idea... --...

Sorry I don't have an answer to your problem, but do a search for the Pet Lovers Forum and post there. You'll get lots of advice.

Do you think he would do well with a kitten? If you get one, I would keep them seperated when youre not home, and introduce them to each other slowly a little at a time. PS I love St Benards! Our old friend had 2, and they were so sweet. Although they did make a slobbering mess in her car.lol.

How 'bout a dog sitter? For what it's worth, I don't think it's right to leave a dog home alone all day if that is in fact, the case. Or you could have someone come & walk Senor everyday. Dogs need exercise, especially the big ones. Suggest you read Cesar Milan's book. Exercise, discipline, love. -- "Buffalos are cool. They're like bad ass cows." Jake on Two & A Half ...

Not so much in a home as he did in our RV. He needs a friend that's not momma. -- A Capybara is the worlds largest rodent.

As long as he would not hurt the kitten, I think it might work. He sounds like is has separation anxiety. If Senor is breaking windows, hopefully he will not get out of one of them or get hurt. Good Luck. Your vet, might be able to give you something to calm him down, when you are both at work. -- Tis The Season...NY Giants...5-3, Oh this is heart breaking. Go Yankees......
