I am sure with careful introductions the family will get on fine 

As Sam says the dog needs to understand the pecking order as do the humans 

Its cats on top , then humans and then dogs

Hello and  to purrs,i have 2 dogs and 7 cats and they all get along fine,it just takes time and patience

Hi and  to Purrs,

Cats ARE very different to dogs but that doesn't make them less loving.  I'm sure in no time at all your partners kitties will work there charms on you ... cats are very good at worming their way into your heart 

There are lots of people on here who have both cats and dogs and they will be able to give you loads of advice on how best to integrate your furries.  As long as your doggie understands the cats are the boss there shouldn't be a problem 

All the best

Sam, Foxy, Zephyr and Ross ixxx

Hi all,

I've actually always been a dog person and have a cairn terrier but as my partner has two recue cats I feel the need for some help and advice. Cats seem very different to dogs to me. Anyway we are hoping that they will all get along so fingers crossed.
