We have pig, our dog that is almost 4, who is a spoiled lazy excuse for a dog. I thought that since he did so well this past summer when my brother in law's dog Milo stayed with us, that if we got a cat pig may do well with that to.
So, we went to the APA on Hanley and looked for a cat. I like going there despite the smell of poo, because the cats are kept in a room with the puppies. And I guess because cat's are smaller it looks like they have more room in their cages.
The APA is a great place and they really take animal adoption seriously, they check where you live and ask you the right questions even before you can touch an animal. They also have a lot of pit bulls and make the rules for adopting them even harder.
We looked around, and I had no real prerequisites for what I wanted in a cat other than wanting the cat to have been around dogs before. You never really know what you are getting when you adopt, but any background info helps.
We ended up picking a girl cat, who is about a year old who had been in a home with a dog before so the paper said.
We really picked her because the minute we went and got her out of the cage, she rubbed noses with us and just wanted to be held. She was not scared, she just purred and wanted attention. On top of all that she was full-grown and really small with short hair.
We adopted her, got her fixed and named her NOSEY.
When we brought her home; she loved us, and ran to pig and loved him
(he is tolerant of her purring and rubbing up against him)
This is an example of a decision that was quick and not really planne that turned out good!

Your cat is so cute!!!
I am disappointed you did not name the cat after another animal like you did with naming the dog "pig". C'mon, so many great animal names to choose from: ferret, hippo, chicken...
