My friend is going to a job, she cant take care of it when she is at work but I have the month off. would a Chihuahua be a good Idea with kitties?
I think it would be fine? Chihuahuas are so small.

in all honesty, it depends on the dog.
I would think so, because the cats aren't that threatining to the dog and vise versa since they are about the same size.
My aunt's dog, Daisy Mae who is a jrt/chi mix loves to beat up Trouble my aunt's cat but she just plays and it isn't in ferociousness or anything.
my mom's dog Ginger she's techinacally hers but she lives with me, my dad, and my mom..anyways she loves Tiger and Miagi.
I forgot to add shes a small dog. corgi mix is our best guess.

Peekaboo likes to tease Molly and Megan sometimes, but they ignore her for the most part. She is only agressive with other dogs, and boy does she ever get mad at them! She forgets how tiny she is, if she ever knew.

Just try and slowly introduce them. And be careful of the eyes because chi's eyes are easy to injure due to their shape. And just be patient with them.

Should be ok. Has the pup been around cats before? Remember it is a dog even if its the size of cats.

Our labs looks at dogs that size as if they are a cat - not a dog....lol
