Dear XXXXXXX,
Thank you for your question.
Are you thinking of getting a Yorkshire and already have a resident cat? If so,you may want to consider if the dog has been near cats before as well as if the cat is "dog friendly".
What each pet is used to can help you know what to expect when they meet.
A Yorkshire Terrier that is carefully taught to respect the cat as well as one who is used to cats may be a dog that will adjust well.
There are Yorkshires who get along famously with cats and there are some that hate cats. It's just not something that can be guaranteed but there are ways to introduce a dog to a cat that can help make a smooth transition. Dogs must be trained and also carefully monitored so they don't have a bad experience if the cat is not used to dogs and does want a dog in the home.
What I am sending you here is a website with information on how to introduce the dog to the cat .I think you'll find it's something you can easily do but it takes knowledge and time.
When you get to this website,scroll down to " dog to cat introductions" .
