Some days Lacy is really quiet and other days (like today) she is kindof barky. I guess overall she's a pretty quiet dog most of the time though. So far as the cats - I have two cats and my roommate has one. We had two of the cats in the house when I got Lacy as the puppy (mine was 5 years old and my roommate's cat was only like 6months old at the time). With my roommate's cat they get along fine and will play sometimes and chase each other. With my cat, Lacy has always harassed and chased her and no matter how hard I have tried to make her stop, she won't. My cat is very skittish and won't stand up for herself though and will run if threatened so Lacy's chases her. Yorkies have that high-prey drive and when they decide to go after something, it's hard to stop them unless you have ahold of them. Lacy wanted to chase my cat upstairs and I literally held her for 10minutes as she whined and as soon as I set her down, up the stairs she ran. I got another cat a few months ago and she is almost 10 months now. She and Lacy really get along great - better than her and my roommate's cat even. Sometimes Lacy will try to chase her too but if the cat doesn't want to put up with it she won't. So with the cats - it's going to take a lot of training on your part and also just having cats that will put the puppy in it's place and not let it chase it.
