Did your Yorkies seem aggressive towards the kitten? Bark like maniacs or chase it? I am afraid how small this kitten is and how spoiled and ruling my yorkies are. My dogs are used to being the kind of the home and I do not see them accepting a kitten very easily.
I did get an outdoor bunny over the summer and on day 1 Fletcher was glued to it's side, by day 2 he couldn't have cared less and neither could the bunny. They totally left each other alone. NOW if they catch sight of her out of the corner of their eye they will chase her under the bush, but once she's under there they leave her alone and she can come out and be fine with them. She's a BIG bunny though at 12lbs. Right now this kitten seriously cannot even be 2lbs. I don't want 2 yorkies to gang up on it even if it's just to get a sniff.
Britster, you sound like you did a great job with the introductions. I will keep a bag of treats handy for those encounters for sure!
