I
am interested in adopting another
abandoned cat. I currently have a 7 yr
old spayed female cat and 4 yr old neutered
male Golden Retriever (great with kids
and cats). Does the age and or sex of
the new cat matter (provided the cat
has been fixed)? (Jeff Masters,

If
the cat has been neutered then the sex
of the cat should not matter. Your
exiting pets sound like very friendly
companions and it seems like you will
have little problem introducing your new
pet.
However, seeing as your other
pets are already mature it may help if
the new pet is also beyond the kitten
stage. While your pets probably behave
like children, it may not help the
introduction if the cat is too
invasive, as may be the case if you
select a very young cat. Also try to
look for sociable cats and, if you
can, see it in the company of other
cats before taking it home.

Cats are extraordinarily fastidious creatures. Outdoors they tend to
urinate and defecate in relatively open and previously unused areas. More...
