I had a toy fox terrier as a kid, and that’s the only breed of dog I’d consider getting now. But I don’t think my little rescue cat Zizu would go for a lively and clever dog in the house. My Maine Coon would probably welcome a playmate she could chase, but Zizu, no sale.
Another Freeper has Maine Coon cats, too. I’ve always wanted one. Maybe after the Beagle passes; the cat can be my ‘house dog.’ ;)
