There is never any need to get rid of a pet because of an allergy to them. Owners can be desensitised to their pet’s hair very easily. Visit my website for details.

Good points on why to adopt an adult cat, and its true that most often the adult cat is already litter trained. I am going to adopt an adult cat for this reason. Also for older folks an adult cat has that training which is easier on older people. Thanks for the needed information on adopting which I believe in strongly.

Yes, it was from a rescue organization. They ask beforehand if you are willing to deal with “issues” the dog may have - and it is really interesting finding out what they are. (Not sure if it is usually so obvious with cats - I’ve never had one.) Demi has a serious dislike for my 21-yr-old son (who mercifully is off at college most of the time) - we are guessing that there was an abusive boyfriend or something in her past. She also piddles when you pet her upon greeting - we are hoping that this goes away, but for now we just pet her on the tile rather than the carpet! She is very affectionate and cute, so it is hard to get mad at her, tho we have already had to have the carpet cleaned…

Many of these are of course also true of older dogs. We just got a 2-yr-old dachshund, and she is (sort of) house trained (as much as doxies can be…), and high-spirited but not chewy, etc.
