Are Yorkies good with cats?

While Yorkies are considered a cat-friendly breed, your Yorkie’s individual temperament, early socialization, and training play a big role in determining if they will be friendly to other animals.

Despite their rat-catching ancestry, Yorkies do not have a strong instinct to chase cats. You’ll want to assess how well your cat behaves with toy dogs as well to make sure there won’t be any issues from either side.
