Are Korat cats good with dogs?

Yes, Korat cats can get along well with dogs, but like with other cats, they may need some time to adjust. Their naturally cautious and observant nature means they might be a bit reserved initially, but with a slow, patient introduction, a Korat can form a peaceful relationship with a dog.

To start, keep the Korat and dog in separate areas at first, allowing them to become familiar with each other’s scent without any direct contact. Swapping bedding or toys between them can help with this process. After a few days, allow them to see each other through a barrier, such as a baby gate, so they can observe without feeling threatened. During these visual introductions, make sure both animals are calm and offer treats to create positive associations.

Once they seem more comfortable, try short, controlled interactions where the dog is on a leash and the Korat has a safe space to retreat if needed. Encourage calm behavior from both and avoid forcing any contact. Over time, with consistent positive reinforcement and supervision, the Korat and dog can learn to coexist peacefully and may even become buds.
