Yorkies are Terriers. Any breed with the name terrier in it is bred to kill. Plain and simple. It is in their DNA. Our yorkies and cats get along fine because our cats were already in the house and full grown LARGE cats when we brought in the very small yorkie puppies. They never saw them as prey. Yorkies would see small kittens as prey. If you have had kittens with yorkies and never had a problem you have been very lucky because those yorkies aren't exhibiting a high prey instinct. But, personally I wouldn't take the chance, ever of having yorkies loose with any small animals. Kittens, gerbils, hamsters, snakes, anything like that. That is what they were bred and used for, killing....it is what it is.
