Yes there are ways of safely cat testing dogs. You need a muzzle, keep your dog on a leash and have it meet at cat in the cats home, one that isn't afraid of dogs. If the greyhound group can help you let them, or maybe ask them for more help. It sounds to me though that you answered you own question. "he has a very high prey drive". I wouldn't bring a cat into a dogs house that has a high pray drive. You may be thanked later by your dog for the new toy, that broke. Maybe another dog? Good luck, Angelika

Our local greyhound rescue says they have a reliable way of "cat testing" the greys that come in and can figure out which ones will and will not handle living with a cat, but I'm not sure if this can be safely done at home with a rescued cat. We are considering adopting a cat as a companion for Ludwig, who continues to grieve the loss of our older whippet even after several months. My husband loves cats and we'd like to bring one into our family but Ludwig has never met a cat and has a very high prey drive. Is this crazy? Can this be done safely? We don't want to endanger a cat in any way. Thank you very much for any advice/experience you can share, Christiaen --------------------------------- Yahoo!
