Am I? Wait maybe don't answer that

Anyway, I heard/saw a really sad story about a cat that is in foster care after being intentionally starved by the previous owner simply because " he thought it was funny"

I love cats and of course dogs. My dex will be 1 yr in feb. he is starting to get more and more in routine with me which I love.
Ok so my problem: to adopt or not adopt the cat.
Dex will be 1 yr in feb and the cat is around 2 .
As far as the foster mom knows the kitty hasn't been around dogs. Dex has been around cats briefly .
He seemed to do just fine.
Do any of you have experience with yorkies and cats? Any issues?
I am supposed to go see and spend some time with the cat tomorrow morning .
