@Lady MountainJay I have two cats, we adopted a new rescue dog, a Doberman, and one of the reasons we adopted this particular Doberman is we needed a dog that would be okay with the cats and the foster said that her cat slept on the dog. We previously had another Doberman with these cats, so they were used to dogs and this breed specifically. The relationship the old cats had was our grey tomcat loved to get the dog to chase him around the house where the Siamese cat didn't like this sort of play. Our new dog caught on right away and knows when the grey cat is in the mood to be chased and they play good together. Occasionally the dog tries to goad the Siamese into a chase, but she just lifts a paw and displays her claws and then the dog gives up.

@Lady MountainJay Yea, when my previous cat Monster (a real sweetheart huge grey tabby) died, shortly thereafter I went to PAWS intending to get another kitten (I had adopted Monster when he was already 12 years old, and undoubtedly he may have lived much longer but he was infected with feline leukemia and that took his life several months later), this time I wanted a kitten, as much as there was a sense of gratitude for being given the opportunity to give an old sick cat a good home I just didn't want to go through that grief right away so looked for a kitten. PAWS had no young cats at that point but suggested I check back in March or April when they typically have kittens so did so. They had a cute Siamese and a grey Tomcat about 7 months old, I hadn't intended to get two cats but they had been together nearly since birth so I took them both, now I've had them close to eight years and glad I did take them both as their interactions provide quite a lot of entertainment and with two cats, if one is in an aloof mood the odds are good the other won't be.
