Are Sloughis good with cats?

Sloughis can be good with cats, but it largely depends on their individual temperament and socialization experiences. While many Sloughis can coexist peacefully with cats, it’s essential to monitor their interactions and be mindful of each pet’s behavior and comfort level. As sighthounds, Sloughis have a strong prey drive, which means they may instinctively chase smaller animals, including cats. However, many Sloughis can live harmoniously with cats if introduced properly and raised together.

Introducing a Sloughi to cats at a young age can help them become accustomed to each other. Initially, supervise their interactions to ensure that both the Sloughi and the cat feel safe. Gradually allow them to spend time together. Use treats and praise to reward calm behavior around the cat, reinforcing positive interactions. Ensure that the cat has areas to retreat to where the Sloughi cannot reach, allowing them to feel secure.
