| We have a cat and Zena plays with him all the time. However, we don't leave them alone together, just in case |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | I had a siamese cat before I got Lex. The first few days (like 3) she was a bit hesitant and stayed away from him. After that it was a wrap. They were each other's constant partners and played all the time together. It will be ok if you choose to get a kitty.

| Since your pup is young, I would think they would get along just fine with a kitten. Usually older cats are set in there ways about dogs & usually don't care for them. Our cat which was 3 when we got our puppy doesn't like our dog at all, however, our dog plays with the kittens out at the farm so I think it's all about growing up together. -disclaimer, the picture looks a little dirty, but they are actually just playing.

| I just rescued a kitten from a shelter about 3 months ago to be a companion for my 1 1/2 old 3lb yorkie. They LOVE each other. They are constantly playing. After a while the cat does get annoyed with Cole but will just go somewhere he can't get to. The cat is already twice the size of my yorkie so I am glad I got him as a kitten when they were about the same size. Oh and I must have lucked out because my yorkie DOES NOT eat the cat poo!! |

| My husband wanted a cat really bad so I got him one as a gift (he picked it out without realizing he was going to actually get her, this was a very planned gift and he had been looking and wanting one for over two years) Anyway I got him the Cat and he absolutely fell in love with her. The problem...she turned out to be my Yorkie's and IG's cat, not his cat. THEY LOVE each other and play like crazy. Joy (cat) is constantly bathing them and mothering them. It is so sweet. Plus, she really knows how to wear them out. |

| Gracie loves my cats and the feeling is mostly mutual! They chase each other around and play with each other. Gracie gives my long- hair exotic a bath whenever she gets a chance. It should work out well as long as the new kitty is a kitten, not yet exposed to dogs.

| I recently took Coco to my friends house. She has a weiner dog, and a cat. Coco actually played more with the cat than the dog and Coco's never even been around a cat before. So I would say go for it. If I found a nonshedding hypoallergenic cat, I would consider it

| Just make sure the cat is declawed. Diesel LOVES playing but the cat well.. When our cat was a kitten things were ok. The older he got he actually became dangerous. He grew faster than Diesel and began pinning Diesel to the ground. The cat was playing but playing VERY VERY rough like. Needless to say I didn't like it one bit. We fixed our cat and put him out. Now he comes in and out and has mellowed out a LOT. Since being older he no longer plays with Diesel. Now he stalks him and attacks him if we don't watch them closely. I guess every cat is different so you must watch them very carefully. I am sure I will be jumped all over for putting the cat out. Attacking Diesel was not the only reason and now he is a much happier cat. He LOVES being out.
