One More Is It Too Much?

I live in a four bedroom victorian house. There are three adults present in the house.

At present we have:

1) 8 year old dog

2) 6 month old puppy

3) 2 ten month old kittens

We really want to re-home another cat ideally a kitten. We have a lot of love to give.

I asked advice from our local vets who suggested we have a busy household at the moment and to wait for a little bit before getting another cat.

My question is, do you think we have enough pets or surely one more cat won't harm.

We have a big house and a lot of give.

Your suggestions please?

well I guess you should have as many pets as the 3 of you can handle. maybe ONE more cat but dont get too many pets or they might eventually take control of the house and start making demands. : p



but seriously though, I suppose it would depend on the dynamic between the 3 of you and the 2 dogs. when my sister got a puppy she brought her over to meet my parents dog (sam) and out of the blue , Sam just jumped at her and started snarling/growling...we were all really surprised because we'd NEVER seen him act like that before but I think what was going on was: he might have felt like that was HIS house/territory and my sister's puppy was a newcomer who might compromise his position in the household....idk if dogs get "jealous" or whatnot but it definitely seemed like it. *shrug*

I'd defer to the vet and just focus on the pets you have there now.
