Are Basenjis good with cats?

Yes, Basenjis can be good with cats, but their compatibility often depends on the individual dog’s temperament, socialization, and training, as well as the behavior and personality of the cat. Basenjis are hunting dogs with a strong prey drive, which means they are inclined to chase small animals, including cats. It’s important to be aware of this instinctual behavior and to provide appropriate outlets for their energy and hunting instincts through regular exercise and mental stimulation. 

Introducing a Basenji to a cat at a young age and allowing them to gradually get used to each other’s presence can help foster a positive relationship. Always supervise interactions between Basenjis and cats, especially during the initial stages of their relationship. This can help prevent any potential misunderstandings or confrontations and allow you to intervene if necessary.
