I saw this useful article today over at petplace
In increasingly multipet households, this is a real concern.
I have had many different breeds, and they have all got along well with cats, but generally speaking, any breed born to chase, such as greyhounds, or weed out vermin, which they detect by movement, such as terriers, need to be trained from a young age.
Most of the time the cat will have the common sense to jump up high to safety if it is feeling threatened, but the jaws and teeth of some dogs are designed to puncture or even crush, so if you are thinking of getting a dog, know the breed first. You also might consider adopting from PetFinder because they will often be able to tell you if the dog is good with other animals, and with children, another consideration in terms of chasing and movement which you would need to think about before bringing a dog into your home.
