You might already own a pet dog and you are thinking of acquiring a pet cat, or perhaps it is the other way around. The important thing to consider is the first introduction between them. If you release a dog from his leash to meet a cat inside an open space as their initial introduction, you might be setting up each pet for failure. Rather, you have to take the time and plan ahead.
Should a dog like chasing things, a shy and fearful cat might not be the ideal option because she will just run away and make the dog give chase. In the same vein, a very lively cat who pounces and runs around might have the same effect. The ideal match here is a confident and calm cat who does not run when playing or because of fear.
Should a dog like rough play, it may be better to avoid senior cats or kittens as they could easily get hurt. Rather, try a playful adult cat who likes play and has enough confidence that she can handle herself. Should a cat be very playful or rambunctious, then a gentle yet playful dog might be the ideal companion pet.
