My husband and I are in a bit of a moral dillema right now. We adopted our female cat with the impression that she "tolerates" dogs. This is what our local humane society told us. We are planning on getting a dog, but after observing her behavior, it's become obvious to us that she does not tolerate dogs. She attacks without provocation. On the contrary, their mere presence seems to be provocation enough. To top things off, our male (who is normally peaceful, and will hide from anything that comes at him) has become VERY protective of her. The two of them tag-teamed our neighbor's dog last night, scratching her nose up pretty (she's a Burnese Mountain Dog, too....not exactly small). So now we don't know what to do. Should we give her back to the HS even though her chances of being adopted would be slim? (She's 3 years old). Or should we try and find a home for her ourselves? I worry about giving her to someone who would declaw her and such.
