whippets and cats?

Can a rescued 2 1/2 year old whippet get along with family cat. Whippet is so fast…don’t want cat to be injured!

Whippets that have been trained through early socialization usually get along with other dogs and people but they are not just the best choice as cat companions. This breed has a strong prey drive. Although some Whippets can live peacefully with cats and other small furry pets, there have been cases of Whippets killing family cats. You may be able to train and socialize your Whippet to accept the family cat, but it’s important to always supervise their interactions and never leave them alone together.
