Stedman (our Yorkie) does just fine with Brinkley (our FAT cat!)

They play together constantly, and love each other so much

They can get a little rough at times (just playing though...not trying to hurt each other or anything!) so thank goodness Brinkley is declawed. He doesn't need them as he is STRICTLY an indoor cat. He had this done while he was still little, before he got used to having them, so that he wouldn't "miss" them later on in life. So declawing may be something that you want to consider. I would NEVER recommend declawing if the cat is going to be outside at ANY TIME (since their claws are their defense weapon!), but for an inside cat, all their going to be using their claws for is to tear up ("sharpen their claws on") your carpet and furniture!

Anyway, I have posted some pictures below, and as you can see, Mr. Brinks and Stedman are the BEST of friends!!!

P.S.- Please excuse Stedman's BAD haircut in the picture with Brinkley and daddy. Mommy is VERY upset with the lady groomer at PetSmart

lol
