I'm wondering if anybody would have some experience and advice for me introducing a kitten to the family?
I have two staffies (Tyson, 8yrs, Lacey, 9 months) and we are wanting to introduce a kitten. Tyson has lived with a cat before and dealt with it well and Lacey has also been around a cat and just wanted to play. So any advice on how to introduce or any other points would be fantastic!

never had cats so not much help i'm afraid to say,i know sash would'nt have one in the garden let alone the house,if you say your dogs have been around cats and are fine should'nt be too much of a problem,just make sure the kitten has some where it can go if it wants some space away from your dogs.

My staffy I've had for 12 years with 4 cats was a nightmare for the first few weeks. We had to keep them separate and only do short supervised and distracted sittings. The 2 elderly recents additions we don't think have any contact with cats, were still in a crate. They took longer to adjust to the kittens. The older cats were sensible enough to stay out of the way. I hope it works out.
