      I’m caring for a cat who obviously was abandoned in my neighborhood. She’s living outside because I already have a full house of 3 cats and a dog. My daughter’s boyfriend is thinking about taking her, but he has a Dachshund. The dog is pretty chill and well-trained. But I’m concerned that they won’t get along. Does anyone know if Dachshunds are good with cats?

      My sister has a dachshund and three cats who have lived happily together for 5+ years now. In fact, due to their size and temperament, they are considered a good breed to coexist with cats, but every animal is different.

      So, while I cannot vouch for all dachshunds, it is certainly possible and worth a meet and greet of the dog and the new kitty to see how it goes. Understanding how to best introduce dogs and cats is crucial to a smooth transition with this new relationship and for everyone in the home.
