I grew up with pets and working on a farm. I live in house with two dogs (German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever/German Shepherd puppy), I have two cats (one is a kitten), two rats because why not, an Axolotls, a snail and a turtle. ALL animals of mine are friendly, but my german shepherd will be shy and he is very talkative, eventually he will just get VERY excited to see your pet. IF you want me to watch your cat and you're nervous about the dogs, no worries. The cats have their safe place, it is gated off and upstairs, also my full grown cat puts the dogs in their place if they get too close to her or her kitten sister. If you have anymore questions, I will answer them:)
