1. Most cats end up pwning the dog anyway.
2. any cat can go with any dog, just introduce the dog at a young as vice versa
3. that is sick
4. it doesnt matter what breed the cat is. it all depends on their personality and if they're properly introduced
5. ...well we just got a kitten and threw him to the dogs...literally...The dogs were actually kind of sniff and back away about him for a little while but as he grew older they just started getting along...If you KNOW your dog will tear a cat in half at the chance then dont do it...
6. I wouldn't suggest getting a cat dear !!
7. cats are cats, for the most part...so the problem isn't finding the right breed of cat, the problem is having the right breed of dog....and, all terrier breeds are territorial....therefore, although possible, it'll take a lot of training and patience if you plan on introducing a cat into the family.
8. none cause cat stretch out the dogs eyes I seen it happen
9. any will work, they don't stereotype like people do. I had a dog that was best friends with a raccoon and a cat that was best friends with a wallaby (mini-kangaroo) try breeding your new cat with your dog and see how that turns out! lol
10. Usually none, be sure that the cat and the dog are different gender. Not that they are gonna mate but different genders of animals usually correspond better
11. tiger lion liger in that order of suitability.
12. I had an Abi which was good with dogs - he was known locally as "That bl@@dy pit bull terror cat". He beat up every dog he saw in the street, chasing them till he got tired of terrorising them, and if they put a foot on his territory he went straight for their eyes! The problem with cats is that not only do they bite, too, but they also have 4 very sharp corners and if threatened do not hesitate to use them. Even a kitten will lash out if it is frightened.
13. You should be asking yourself what breed of dogs is best with cats? my short legged jack russell hates cats, she is a hunt breed. Check first what's your dog temperament amongst cats, have a friend or somebody you know bring a cat home and see what reaction your dog will have. Remember, you're the pack leader and you decide who is "invited" to you house and to your pack, not your dog!
14. first get him fixed and get a bigger breed of cat and the cat will do the rest but make sure it isnt a frady cat because then this wont work get a brave cat and if your dog bites or attacks him/ her SCRATCH right across the face so your dog will learn real quick who's boss
15. I would suggest getting a cat from a shelter that already proven to be good with dogs, most older dogs, DO not tolerate a playful boisterous young kitten. My dog is great with either, however she respect cats that aren't used to dogs and will adjust her behaviour to suit the new arrival, she doesn't care how old the cats are. 1. What you see is what you get. Adult cats already know who they are. Kittens are undeniably cute, but you never know what the future holds, how large they may get, what their personality will ultimately be, etc. An adorable little kitten will be an adult in the blink of an eye. 2. Adult cats aren't as "chewsy." Kittens have a tendancy to chew things, lots of things. Whether teething or just exploring bits of the world around them, kittens chew on shoes, the corners of books, ear lobes and fingers, carpet tassels, electrical cords, drapery strings, plants, and much, much more. Most adult cats don't chew inappropriately at all. 3. If you have an older cat or dog in your home and are looking for a friend for him or her, another adult cat may be the best choice. Kittens can be too playful and may upset your cat/dog instead of providing companionship. A kitten may cause your resident cat/dog to be more annoyed than amused. 4. After a long day at the office, you may just want to come home and curl up with your furry friend--but most kittens prefer an action packed evening--lots of touseling, frolicking, and plenty of running and jumping. An adult cat will greet you at the door and be more than happy to curl up and watch your favorite shows on TV. They've already learned about the unconditional love thing. 5. Adult cats may sleep at the foot of your bed, under the bed or in a cozy spot somewhere else in the house, while a kitten will most likely run around all night, doing anything possible to wake you up for more games. Adult cats are generally happy to sleep when you do and don't try to attack your toes through the blankets in the middle of the night. 6. Adult cats won't be climbing up your leg or your curtains, they won't be swinging from your chandeliers, knocking down knick knacks or just running full speed ahead for no good reason. 7. Adult cats are usually a better choice for families with small children. Kittens often play rough and are constantly underfoot. They're sharp--they can't help it, but kittens are all teeth and claws. Generally speaking, adult cats are more mellow, and often more patient with young children. The experience should be a good one for both the cat and the child. Ask to meet the shelter's best "kid cats." 8. Adult cats require less attention and supervision. They're quiet companions. They have well-developed manners, use the litter box and the scratching post without constant reminders. 9. Many adult cats end up in shelters due to no fault of their own. Separated from their loved ones, surrounded by other cats, confined, confused, and sometimes frightened, many are emotionally devastated by their misfortune. Sadly, most people gravitate toward the cute, bouncy, big-eyed kittens. Older cats sit by and watch, as one loving family after another passes them over for a cute kitten. Adopting an adult cat is a way to say to a deserving animal "I believe in you." For the abandoned, forgotten, and heartbroken adult cats, you just might be their last chance to have the love and warmth of a home where they can live out their years in comfort. When properly cared for, cats often live well into their late teens or longer. Typically, they will remain active and even playful throughout most of their lives. Once a cat adjusts to a new home where they can feel safe and secure again, they'll offer years of faithful companionship and unconditional love.
16. I would not introduce a cat to any kind of dog that is territorial. It is dangerous. The dog will only hurt the cat. Be careful
17. I have 2 dogs that I would not dare bring a cat near it would be ripped to shreddes.My one dog is part poodle and part terrier the other is part beagle part terrier.My sisters dog lost its eye to the neighbours cat when the cat came on her property.I think in your case a stuffed cat would be good you can get them at the dollar store that way no one will get hurt.P.S. your dog might rip it up to make sure you take its eyes off.
18. If you don't know how your dog is with cats, and the dog is territorial, you wil be much better off with a full-grown cat. A kitten may just end up being a chew-toy for a dog like that. Terriers were bred to hunt rodents and small game, and a kitten is just the right size to make them act on that instinct.
19. any cat just make sure your dog is very welcoming and friendly not vicious and then they will learn to get along better
20. You need one of the larger, calmer breeds like a Maine Coon, British Shorthair, Siberian, Ragdoll, Birman, Norwegian etc. Plus you need to get kittens from a breeder who has a dog and has exposed the kittens to the dog during the critical socialisation period which is between 2 and 8 weeks old. Ensure careful introductions take place. Muzzle the dog and trim all nails on both sides.
21. I am not familiar with your terrier breeds. do you mean Chihuahua? I breed and show Border Terriers and Norwich Terriers and also have cats. I raise my puppies around cats so they are cat friendly, some more than others! They will at least tolerate a cat walking across the kitchen! All terriers are capable of inflicting great bodily harm; They were bred to kill vermin and help eradicate rabies in the British Islands. I'd say foget the kitten. Maybe rescue an older cat who is dog wise. If you tell me what a Suki Terrier is maybe that would help.
