Are Chinooks good with cats?

Yes, Chinooks can be good with cats and typically get along quite well with their feline counterparts. This is especially true if they have been socialized with kitties from a young age. They don’t tend to have a strong prey or chase drive and can often coexist peacefully with household cats.

To introduce a Chinook to cats, start with scent-based introductions by swapping blankets or toys between them. Rub a towel on each pet to share their scents and help them get used to each other. 

Next, allow them to see each other from a distance while keeping the Chinook on a leash. Ensure the cat has access to high perches or safe spaces to observe from a safe vantage point. Gradually increase their time together, watching their reactions and keeping the interactions positive to help them coexist peacefully.
