To those who have yorkies and cats.. - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Im curious about this as well. I took in some kittens that a friend of mine found in her garage and fostered them to find them homes. i dont normally like cats but kittens are too cute and i taught them so much in just a few days..unfortunately i have a pom and a yorkie and my yorkie acts like he wants to EAT the kitten..

ive tried and tried and the kitten has been here almost a week and no luck. my yorkie was rescued from a puppy mill where he lived in a barn as a stud, so i dont think hes had access to cats before. Is this just his yorkie instincts kicking in since terriers were originally bred to get rats? he literally turns into a TERROR when the kitten is around. he tries t o bite him and goes crazy like hes on drugs. Normally timmy is TIMID and quiet and wimpy, but he totally changes in view or smell of the kitten. Anything i can do or no??

I had Eloise, our cat, first, so she tolerates the dogs, but doesn't really play with them. The first Few months she hissed a lot, but she no longer does that. It's funny, the dogs adore her, get excited to see her, But she ( Eloise) thinks she is the queen bee and stays away from the dogs at all times. Maybe if you got a kitten it would interact/ be easier with your dog?
In the past, when I had dogs that were older than the kitty they seemed to warm up to each other. good luck - I adore our cat, and maybe it is just her personality...? She is just a loner...
In any case, I wish you luck in whatever you decide! Pets just add so much to our lives!!! You can't go wrong!! :-)

I think it really depends on the type of cat. I have a Maine Coon who is a female. They love each other. They are alwaus playing and napping at the same time.
