Sighthounds With Cats?

There are plenty of breeds with a much higher prey drive than Sighthounds :)

Like my Cavaliers....they love chasing the cats! If they run that is. :laugh:

My friend has always adopted GAP greyhounds and she gets them "cat friendly". They get along great.

Those pics were taken when Buzz was a bubba, they don't really play chasey anymore.. Buzz came from a breeder who socialised him with a cat, other adult dogs, kids and a pet Magpie :laugh: Bob Cat came to us as a 9yr old rescue, and is just fantastic with the dogs. He & Buzz are great mates, and spend lots of time sharing a bed.

Just because a dog is a Sighthound does not automatically mean cats are fair game :love:

These photos are real heart melters, all of them. :crossfingers:

In own experience I had a cat and then got whippets as puppies. They didn't chase her because I taught them it wasn't on. All those have now gone and my current crew of five whippets haven't grown up with cats and I feel certain they'd throttle them, even though I've taken a couple of whippets to a friends cattery and tried to teach them not to touch the cats I can see in their eyes first chance they got they'd have them by the throat, or where ever they could. I would dearly love another cat but I wont be happening as long as I have these whippets.

I reckon it depends on the cat!

One of my whippets was brought up with my cat, and they fight together - chase each other all sorts!

My other whippet who I got later in his life is scared of the cat.

They both have been known to want to chase other cats though.

Five whippets!?! That is my dream!
