Can a cat live with a 'Staff?..

    I'm considering buying a Staffordshire Bull Terrior, but I'm alittle concerned about him growing up in the same house as our cat 'Sammy.

    I've been told it should be fine if the dog is introduced as a puppy, but my cat thinks she own's the house.

    Any opinions?.

    Yeah, had a cat and a Staff. They were fine, the Staff was an adult and the cat was a kitten. It should be even better the other way around, maybe a few scraped noses and a bit of hissing, otherwise things will work itself out.

    Martin i dont know if you've actually sent the payment but why dont you check out dogs in distress-they always have staffs on there site and they are nearly always put down because people dont understand the breed and assume that there viscious-check this out either way-you could get a free dog and save a life-:D http://www.dogsindistress.org/whatdiddo.htm

    DiD rehomes, like any reputeable rescue, with contracts and HCs as well as a rehoming fee.
