Corgis are some of the friendliest dogs I know, and as a Corgi owner (or Corgi owner-to-be), you know well. But if you’re looking to introduce a Corgi to a cat, you may be wondering: do they actually get on? The good news is that they can be great friends, but you’re going to need to be prepared.
Introducing a Corgi to a cat takes time and a dedicated meeting space. As long as you let them meet through a barrier, give them plenty of space to hide and acclimate, and take things at a snail’s pace, you’ll find your furry friends learn to like each other (or at least tolerate each other).
Of course, you may face some challenges when trying to introduce a Corgi to a cat. As long as you are prepared for these potential issues, you should be equipped to handle them properly.
1. Corgis are herding dogs and can also be prone to a higher prey drive than most. This means they are naturally inclined to be more likely to chase and/or herd small animals such as cats. Simple training and good supervision can help prevent this.
2. Resources for each pet should be kept separately as both Corgis and cats can be quite territorial creatures. This means that if their food or bedding is too close together, they might become territorial over them.
