Pet owners with more than one pet need to know there is a 'pecking' order and your cats were there first so you need to train your dog to heed your cats. Introduce your new dog by putting the cats in another room, door shut and let the new dog sniff around the house and then put it on a leash. Let the cats out. They will be curious and their hair may even stand up at the sight of the dog, but cats aren't stupid and they will soon realize the dog is part of the family. Also after a few scratches the dog will get to know it's place in the family and stay clear of the cats. I have two dogs and a cat and they get along well together. I find it harder to bring another cat into the house with already having a cat, than bringing a dog in. Sometimes my friends will bring their dogs in my home and my cat has no problem. I use a scratching post with 3 carpeted stands on it and it's about 4 feet high. I leave it in the corner of my front room. This gives the cat(s) a place to go if they feel nervous. This helped me with my cat a great deal.

Your family might be getting a new dog and you really want it but to get the dog you have to get rid of or two cats and you don't want to i have had those cats since you were little what do you do?

Don't get rid of the cats. You have had them a long time and they depend on you and love you. You just don't throw away your beloved pets. The dog can be trained to get along with the cats if done properly. But if you have to make a choice then keep your cats that love you and would be homeless without you.

When addressing an envelope do you add an apostrophe when sending it to a family i.e. The Smiths?

NO. "The Smiths" in this case is the plural for the family name, not a possessive form. Example of both forms: "The Smiths were invited for the weekend, but the Smith's new puppy dog was not made welcome at that time."

Can cats get distemper from dogs?

No, cats cannot get distemper from dogs. Canine distemper virus specifically infects dogs and other members of the Canidae family, and does not affect cats. Cats are at risk for other diseases such as feline distemper (panleukopenia) or feline leukemia virus, but not distemper from dogs.
