If your doggy is very hostile toward cats adopting a kitty may not be the greatest of ideas. If your pooch is very trainable, however, you may be able to introduce them slowly to one another. With patience and perseverance, the two can get used to one another and maybe eventually even like one another.

Beagle
It doesn’t matter whether your cat is a domestic short hair or a domestic long hair—Beagles love them all.
This small scent hound was originally bred to be a hunter, but beagles do amazingly well with cats. While they will usually chase cats while out in the yard, they treat cats gently inside the house and will snuggle up contentedly with any cat that shares their living space.
Boxer
This great dog breed will more likely wrestle with your cat than try to do her any damage. However, most boxers are strong and lively, so they need a tough cat to play with.
If you want a big dog who is good with the family and great with your cat, this breed is a good choice.
Bichon Frisé
This is a very happy, very social dog breed that will likely view a cat as just another small playmate. Just make sure that you have a playful cat. For very laid-back cats, you will need to supervise their interactions closely, since the bichon may be a little too happy at times when the cat wants to be left alone.
Golden Retriever
This dog is one of the best dog breeds with kids and is also tolerant around most other pets in the household. They are excellent with cats of all sizes and ages. The golden retriever is unlikely to be rough with your cat even when playing, and, like most dogs, will just consider the cat part of his family if they are introduced while he’s still a puppy.
Maltese
The Maltese is a slacker who sometimes just lies around on the couch and ignores anything else going on, including the activities of a cat. In fact, maybe this dog does not really like cats; he just knows better than to ask the cat to move off of his favorite spot.
