We're gonna adopt a kitten soon. Just got her cage. She'll be staying with my bf and he has two adult dogs... got some great bonding advice from crazymouse but any additional advice is much appreciated. What are they things I should get to keep a kitty indoors and communally with dogs and er.. loads of other pets?

hi connie, this is just my two cents k? your critters will not be safe from kitty behaviour unless you keep them safe somewhere where kitty cannot get at them. but it depends on individual animals, but majority of cats will have instinct to kacau critters. i dunno about Ts herps and hermits but the SG and other small furry friends might be too great a temptation. just keep an eye on kitty as she grows. hope she might get used to it but you never know hehehe my neighbour's persian mix kitties are always on the wait to pounce on their hammies and RES. they climb all the way up the tops of bookshelves where that's the last place they can think of to put those poor things. So there's not much you can do to hide a big collection of critters unless you shift them all into a room and shut the door so kitty can't get in.

Watch your kitty when its in the same room with any animals smaller than it is, hehe...I've heard many nightmare stories regarding cats and other little pets.

If she's a kitty then it should be easier to bond with the dogs than an adult cat., i think...

then the cat is safe living with andrew's dog lor hehehe... kitties are probably safer chances bcos they do not respond like adult cats do when they see dogs like hissing, scratching...

yup, we're getting a litter box. just got all the sand stuff... hee hee
as for food, I think I"ll continue what the foster mom is feeding. Seems to work very very well with shedding probs that cats have.

eck... her current litter sucks. so stinky of JAsmine (no offence  ). Anyway... she's been a real good girl today.. follow go kai kai.. took nap with us... she didn't like Combi (dog) though. Combi was afraid of her. lol. Stevie (cat killer) wasn't too bad with his response.  Tremmie and Nikki (Dog) was alright too. And uh.. Patrick (snake) and Tremmie wasn't too bad either. will post pics later.
