  1. Thank you all! That's so good to read. When we adopted Boo, they said that she can "hold her own against a dog." With her old pal Scout, she never tried to get him to play but she loved to lie on the floor near him and she sometimes presented him with toys. He never could chase her, so thankfully she isn't used to that from a dog. A greyhound that ignores her antics would pretty much be normal to her, haha. Another great thing about her is that she never used her claws when she occasionally bopped him on the head. We have our phone screening next Wednesday, so I'll be sure to mention these things to the volunteer who's calling us.
  2. Hello! I just joined because I'm planning to adopt a greyhound soon. I'm very excited. I've read a lot about them and noticed that white cats can be particularly attractive to greyhounds because lures are often white. We have a white cat, so what I want to know is how difficult it can be to train a greyhound not to chase after her new white friend? Is it something that can just take extra time? Boo is a friendly and playful red colorpoint Siamese who used to have a disabled American Eskimo Dog as her friend. She was always gentle with him. She can get typical kitty crazies sometimes and go sprinting through the apartment, so a bit of play pretend chasing would probably make her day. Can greyhounds ever be trained to play like that while being gentle and not actually attacking her? I'm so glad for Boo's red striped tail right now. She's not 100% white. But she is mostly white. Any pointers would be so helpful. I want to make sure I am ready when the time comes for future houndie and kitty to meet. Thanks!
