Sadly, owning an Akita means that I cannot have a cat..... but one can dream![/quote]
---------------------------------
That's what they told us about our Dobermans, but we had up to 3 Dobies at once of rescue dogs, and they lived quite easily with our two cats. In fact, each cat had "his own" dog, that they roomed with at the vet's when we boarded them, to the horror of the vet!!! Each dog had his/her own cat in the cage with them for a week at a time, the cats removed only for feeding. They refused to share with the dogs, who wound up with bloody noses!!
Doesn't anyone ever have Akita and cats at the same time?
