Wow...I'm not quite sure what to tell you. I have three cats, all of whom we rescued from outside. The last was 4 weeks old when Momma decided she didn't want him anymore. I dropper fed him for a little bit before I weaned him. Needless to say, he was the baby of the house. Fast forward to Dec. 3rd and insert new 12 week old puppy, Sophie. Ironically, the spoiled cat (Lucas) is the only one that bothers with Sophie. My other two cats...Lil' Boy (male)....will tolerate Sophie, but mostly stays out of her way. My female, Smokey, will have absolutely nothing to do with Sophie and actually has moved herself to our basement (remodeled) and stays there except for at night, when Sophie is in bed with us. This breaks my heart, but there is not much I can do about it. Lucas and Sophie will wrestle and nip each other as if they were litter mates. There's three cats with three different reactions. I wish I had better advice other than to begin to let them spend some time together, supervised, of course. And only if your cat is declawed. If not...I think I'd be a bit nervous too. Good luck!
