We have two cats and 3 dogs, our new yorkie pup is 7 weeks old. the cats arent bothered by him at all. the only change I see in them is one cat seem particularity interested in the new puppy and seem s to want to play with her, but doesnt seem to know how to go about doing that. I am actually surprised at how tolerant she has been to the pup. its like she KNOWS its a baby and so is nice even when she doesnt want to be. She isnt like that with our 14 month old dog. she will swat with her nails and all at him all the time if he bothers her.
As for going outside. I personally never would let my cats outside. We use to when I was a kid, but I dont now. almost all of my cats from back then ended up hit by cars or seriously sick or injured. Just remember going outside exposes your kitty to a whole new ballfield of dangers an illnesses. I can tell you that here at least, all the vets an shelters all say please keep your kitty as an indoor kitty. In fact the kitty we just recently adopted/ rescued the shelter would not allow us to adopt her unless we signed a contract saying we would never purposely allow the cat to go outside.
good luck.
