Are Papillons good with cats?

Yes, most Papillons are good with cats, but their interactions can vary depending on the individual dog’s temperament and socialization, as well as the cat’s personality. Exposing Papillons to cats from a young age can help them learn to coexist peacefully and respectfully. Papillons are generally friendly, playful, and curious dogs who adapt well to living with cats. However, some Papillons might have a higher prey drive and be more inclined to chase or bark at cats, especially if they are not accustomed to them.

The temperament and behavior of the cat can also influence the relationship between Papillons and cats. A confident and dog-friendly cat is more likely to get along well with a Papillon than a shy, or fearful cat. Always supervise interactions between Papillons and cats, especially during the initial introductions and acclimation period.
