If he ever gets a taste for cat poop, there will be no breaking him of it. We have learned this from disgusting personal experience. Also, introduce your new puppy slowly; keep the cats in a separate room with the door closed until they start to get curious about the new addition. It's good that he's already used to cats. He probably won't be aggressive with them, and they'll get comfortable once they realize that. Our cats and our puppy are great friends. Most of all, have fun! Pets are wonderful.

One of my co-workers told me to get those litterboxes with the covers and then face them toward the wall in such a way that only the cats can get in the entrances. I had been worrying about that too. Especially since my one cat, Needy, has some sort of Litterbox anxiety. I'm trying to decide if a soft crate or one of those metal crates would be better. I've never crate trained a pet before. I wish I could be one of those ladies who brings her dog everywhere in her purse. :P You know, with him peeking out at everyone. Somehow I suspect the Panera Bread people would not appreciate his precense during the weekly write-ins. Oh, yeah. Thanks!

It is larger than a crate and more open. I bought my at PetSmart or one of those places. It's about 6x3 feet, and folds up nicely. If you don't like the thought of a crate, you might check that out.
