Firstly, cats and dogs can be the best of friends when brought up together, or introduced correctly.

I would however, strongly suggest that you refrain from having a dog if you are working full time. Dogs are pack animals and can develop all kinds of behavioural problems from being left for long periods.

I would hope that until your situation changes, you will enjoy the company of your cats, who can happily be left while you are working.
