The reaction of this gentle dog with this little ginger kitten will bring the sunshine and melt your heart!

People often wonder: Can pitbulls live with cats? The answer is "yes!" as many can and do. Certainly, there are some dogs whose prey drive is too strong, but for many dogs, pitbulls included, a multi-species household is possible, given the establishment of solid obedience, clear expectations, and training for both species.

If you are adopting a pitbull from rescue, ask the rescue organization or shelter if the dog has been tested around cats. Some organizations include cat-testing during their temperament evaluations.

Remember that prey drive in dogs is normal; however, dogs may display different degrees of prey drive, some more than others. Even if your dog is good with your cats in the home, do not assume that he/she will be good with all cats or outside cats.


Always opt for safety! Separate your dog from your cats when you are not there to supervise.
