Do Corgis Get Along With Cats?

As a cat owner, you want to be sure that if you’re getting a dog, it is suited to your home situation, especially if you already have a furry feline.

Some breeds get along with cats better than others, it seems obvious to say. But in addition, much of whether a pet-friendly household works has to do with the environment being suited to them in the first place.

Let’s see how the beloved corgi gets along with cats.

A few factors come into play with regard to barking. Corgis like to bark. They seem to bark at everything.
