Okay guys, I'm gonna start out by saying I am super frustrated with this situation.
One of my housemates decided that she wanted a cat. After clearing it with our landlady, she started searching for one to adopt. I was okay with that. I wasn't sure how Mumble would react, but I figured we could deal with it.
My roomate found a cat, who the owner says is really sweet. I was fine with that.
What I didn't know is that she was bringing the cat home today. I found this out last night. The problem is, I was scheduled to leave town this morning, and I won't be going back until Wednesday. Mumble is staying there, with my partner and our housemates. This meant that I would not be there when they introduced the cat to the household. And it sucks.
A couple hours ago my partner called me because they found a tick on Mumble and weren't sure how to remove it (it's been taken care of). While on the phone he mentioned that Mumble was barking at the cat, so he's keeping Mumble in his room with him, and the cat is elsewhere. This is fine for now, but it is not a solution! Does anyone have any advice for me to pass on to them? They are not ultra dog-savvy people.
Grrrr. I wish I was there. I don't think my roomate asked how the cat does with dogs, and I'm not sure that she loooked up any methods for introducing cats and dogs.
Errrrrg. >:b
