Cavalier King Charles Spaniels get along really well with cats. But, they can get depressed if left alone all day. Be careful of terrier breeds as theyll chase the cat all day.
And, the herding dogs will do the same. A shih tzsu is also known to be good with cats. We have a Burmese cat and a cavalier.
They arent pals but they get along. Sometimes the Burmese stalks the cavalier.
Its pretty funny. The cat is definitely boss. We had a Persian with our other cavalier and they just ignored each other.
Our cavalier breeder always gets
British shorthair cats. She swears thats the best cat for getting along with dogs.
Ive read golden retrievers are good with cats too. Be careful with any pitbull breeds or German Shepards, etc. The kitten might become an accidental snack.
