Are Australian Shepherds good with cats?

Yes, Australian Shepherds can get along with cats. Creating a positive relationship, however, requires careful introduction, ongoing supervision, and training to manage any potential conflicts between the two. Australian Shepherds are herders, so you may find them trying to herd your cat if they are bored and restless, so make sure they get plenty of exercise and work motivation elsewhere.  Giving your cat a place where they can retreat will help them not feel smothered or trapped.

Of course, each dog has their own preferences and temperament, but if properly socialized to your cat and/or introduced at a young age, your Australian Shepherd and cat should get along well.
