history: I want to adopt a new cat, but I already have three dogs. I'd love to have a cat, but I'm not sure if my current dogs will take well.
current: I've been considering adopting a cat, but I already have three dogs and I'm a bit afraid they won't take a liking to a new animal, much less a cat.
next: Yea that can be tough. What kind of dogs? Are they easy to train?
