My husband and I were originally hoping for a Jack Russell terrier, but upon finding out that my beloved cats would most likely become snacks, went looking elsewhere for a similar dog. Much to our delight, we found the Mountain Feist! Can anyone who owns one of these great little dogs along with a cat comment on their behavior towards felines? In short, is this a good dog to pair with cats? Thank you!

I have both a Fiest and a Siamese cat and they get along fine.At times the Fiest may get a bit too ruff.You might be suprise that my Fiest is faster then my cat in both speed and reaction.

I have owned several Mtn Feists and the where all great with cats, chickens and small children. They are also extremely loyal. To me, there is no better family dog.

I would say that would depend on the cats. Our Feist licks our cats and they lick her. BUT, I have not had a Siamese cat for years. The one that I did have was a very laid back blue point and she accepted a German Shepherd dog that came into her life when she was already at least 7 or 8 years old.
