Are Norwich Terriers good with cats?

Yes, Norwich Terriers can be good with cats, although it’s imperative to socialize them well with kitties and reward calm interactions as they can be tempted to chase them. Their friendly and curious nature can lead to positive interactions with cats, but individual personalities, early socialization, and positive reinforcement training can play a significant role in how well they will coexist. While Norwich Terriers have a high prey drive, they tend to do better with cats than other small pets such as hamsters, gerbils, and rats. 

When introducing a Norwich Terrier to a cat, start with scent-based introductions by exchanging bedding or using separate rooms with closed doors to allow them to get used to each other’s scent. Gradually introduce them in a controlled environment, using positive reinforcement such as treats for calm, friendly, and non-fixated behavior. Ensure the cat has escape routes and elevated perches where they can retreat if feeling overwhelmed, and supervise their interactions closely until they are comfortable with each other’s presence.
