I have a momma cat and her very active kitten and 2 yorkies. The momma cat has on occasion swatted at one of them playing with them but they are quick enough to move out of the way. Its very rare that she has swatted at their faces. Since your gettin it as a kitten the kitten will grow up around the yorkie and they will be best buddies. Both of mine were kittens growing up with them and I havent had any problems. I love having a baby kitten in the house they are so sweet |
