Many Tervs live in harmony with cats and other household pets, but some do not.
Sometimes a Terv will bond very closely to an animal of another species, and they might actively play, sleep together, or the Terv might adopt the other animal like it would protect its sheep. Other times they might reach a coexistence understanding to ignore each other. It seems to depend mostly on the specific temperament of each of the animals. It may also relate to whether they have been raised together since one or both were puppies, kittens, etc. Animals that run at the sight of a dog probably will trigger the chase instinct in a Terv, and that will lead to further problems. Separate feeding times and locations also may avoid some conflicts. Unfortunately, the only way to be sure is to try it out. |
