Interesting replies. I would rather have all the facts now and know what to expect than have a big problem after getting the dog.
My cat was always used to dogs, but it's been a couple years since the last one. About a year back, I was taking care of a friend's dog, he was about 50 pounds at 5 months old. The cat was ok at first but after a face to face run in - the dog wanted to play - the cat started to hide and stopped eating until the dog had gone again. I was thinking that if I bring another dog into the house it would have to be as a very young puppy so the cat can show him/her who's the boss while the dog is still small. I'm also considering a German Shepherd, but I want to do right by the cat so he's not too put out by the whole thing. If Huskies aren't to be trusted with cats as a rule, it's worth knowing from the start.
Please add any advice or personal stories.
