Murphy Bed Parts

Will my cat take to a puppy?

I have a 5 year old cat names Murphy, when I got him I was depressed, and I have to admit, I spoiled him rotten. He is the KING of the house, gets all my attention, he sleeps in our bed under the covers with his head on a pillow. He gets upset if we don't pet him with in 5 minutes of us walking in the door! My husband wants to get a puppy, but I am worried how my cat will take to it. I wouldn't want to upset him, he is very jealouse, and doesn't like anyone to pay attention to anyone but him. I am afraid I will make him sad( this sounds crazy I know) or change his personality somehow. My husband thinks if we let him show the puppy who is boss, he will get attached and think of it as his "pet". Do you think my cat would take to a puppy? It would be terrible if we got the puppy, and then Murphy was unhappy, because I wouldn't be able to part with either of them then, I just don't have the heart!

we have an 9 years old neutered male cat that had a front leg off a couple of years ago.
when our friends dog had puppies we ended up with one.
we were worrried but had no reason to be cat knocked the pup intp place within a couple of days.

18 months later cat is still the King of the house.
