Huskies have very strong prey drives so they are usually not good around cats and small dogs. At nine weeks, though, I'm sure his prey drive isn't really developed. He's probably just being a rambunctious puppy.

I know some people do it successfully, but I have just read too many heartbreaking stories about bigger dogs injuring small dogs to ever feel comfortable with it. Quite often it's the little dog that starts it with a larger dog by protecting a toy or treat, etc, but because of the size difference, it's the little dog who gets hurt. I know of several little dogs who have lost an eye because a larger dog snapped at them.

Just not worth the risk IMO.
