so we got a new cat. he is a 7 M.O. rescue for the local humane society. He's black and really good looking. we did a group introduction and there was lots of sniffing, some licking and a little chewing (on the cat, by a pig, we have one that chews everything at least once) all in all it was fun. Here are some pictures.

Aw that's adorable! I would keep an eye on them to make sure nothing, er, along the lines of "hey you look like a tasty morsel!" happens.

Yeah, be very careful with this- cats have bacteria in their claws and spit that make even a small "play" bite or scratch much more than just a wound to small animals. It would only take one impulsive moment to severely injure and infect one of your pigs- and I'd be careful about letting your pig chew on the cat too, for that reason.

We keep telling her no. She listens about as well as my 5 Y.O.

And we are very careful when they are together. The girl's cage has cover on it.

During laptime last night, cat jumps up in my lap, licks the pig a few times, goes and sits on my legs. I think they are getting used to each other.

That's really cute!!! My one cat is jealous when I pet the other cat, I don't know if I could trust her around my piggies even during lap time, but we'll see when the time comes. So glad yours are getting along!!!

My guinea pig is just meeting my 3 cats. One of them is not allowed to be around him when he has floor time because I've already seen her do a sort of play hunting pose lol but the other two are kinda scared. I think they're just like "what is that thing?" They go up to Harvey(my guinea pig ) and smell him and Harvey is very out going and not scared so he steps closer to also smell them and they just leave the scene.
