I get the impression you're very much a dog person. Same here, my wife is a cat person. Our compromise so far is not to have either until the kids are a bit older. However I'm slowly converting her by taking her to see cute puppies and friendly dogs now and then.
My anchor.....I have your cat's twin sister. We have 2 15 yo cats....they are ok but weird .....but we have a 6 year old demon disguised as a cat. She's fixed....she's fully vetted regularly....but she howls all night....claws at doors...poops in the laundry room where the 3 litterboxes are....pees on anything cloth that is left on the floor...including any rug we try to own. We have hardwood floors in every room and can't have a rug anywhere because she will urinate on it. She has never ever clawed anything other than doors.....until I bought a leather reading chair for myself. Now it's covered in holes because her trees and sisal boards are no longer good enough. I can't stand her.
We will never own another cat because of her.
Congrats on the puppy though! I'm more of a dog person myself. We have two of them and one is old and senile and I call her "70 lbs of stupid" most days.

Christianity has always insisted that the cross we bear precedes the crown we wear.
God has two outstretched arms. One is strong enough to surround us with justice, and one is gentle enough to embrace us with grace.
How often are our lives characterized by a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds!
