Are American Wirehair cats good with dogs?
Yes, American Wirehairs can get along well with friendly dogs, especially if they are socialized to be around dogs early in their lives.
As with cat-to-cat intros, allow your American Wirehair to become familiar with a pup’s scent first. When you allow them to meet in the same space, it’s best to keep your dog on a leash and reward them for calm behavior while making sure your kitty has perches and hideaways to retreat to if they become overwhelmed. Supervise a cat and dog’s playtime and interactions to ensure safety and prevent any potential conflicts.
