I have a cat and fish, they should "no no no the dog will scare the cat" but i mean, my cat has scared my neighbours labs and my others husky and terrier. I said that ill get a small breed and teach them to not fight, but then they said "guess what your cat dosent eat fish right? Your dog may eat the cat" and then i ran upstairs and thought "i could be saving a life and changing a mind" -.-
There are a lot of shelter dogs that have been sozialized around cats and actually get along quite well with them, if you do a bit of research on shelter websites you might find one that gets on quite well with cats. Also most small breeds are less likely to get along with the cat as they tend to yao and bark at a lot of things, i know my cousins shih-tzu cross hates my grandmas cat but my springer just tends to ignore her and the other day his down stairs to sit with the cat when the shih-tzu cross was bothering her.
