Catherine, I had a male cat, Bear, that was used to dogs. We lost our Golden to cancer and then our terrier/dachshund to old age, and he was an only cat for a few years. Then we brought home Rascal and Pepper. Rascal pretty much ignored the cat, but Pepper wanted him to play. She used to literally bounce off of him. He let her chase him, but he never clawed at her or chased her (that we know of). By the way, she was 4 pounds when we got her (6 1/2 or 7 now) and he was 15 pounds. We lost him at 15 1/2 years old. He was a special cat.
All you can do is try - and make sure each has a place the other can not get to, just to have some peace. But make sure you research chihuahuas first so you are prepared. They are special little dogs, and not like any other type of dog!

I am new to dogs in general and I was wondering, since I have a male cat should I get a male or a female Chihuahua or does it matter? I know I will have many more questions to come. I appreciate all help. Catherine
