Are Cairn Terriers good with cats?

Yes, Cairn Terriers can be good with cats, but their compatibility largely depends on the individual temperaments of both the dog and the cat. Cairn Terriers have a strong prey drive due to their background as hunters of vermin, so they might instinctively chase small animals, including cats. However, with proper socialization and training from a young age, many Cairn Terriers can learn to live peacefully with cats.

Always supervise interactions between Cairn Terriers and cats, especially when you first introduce them, so you can intervene if necessary and keep both pets safe.
