Answer 1

I think it actually depends on the personality of the dog. I have a chihuahua too, and when we also had a shih tzu, he got a little jealous and barked at him. But when we brought him close to our shih tzu, he got a little coward. It really depends on its personality, cause I have a friend who also have a chihuahua and other dogs, and I think their chihuahua isn't too jealous.

I hope this information will help

Chihuahua's Temperament:

Chihuahuas are prized for their devotion, ferocity and personality. Their curious nature and small size make them easily adaptable to a variety of environments, including the city and small apartments. Chihuahuas are often stereotyped as high-strung, though it has been shown that correct training and socialization can result in an outstanding companion animal.

Chihuahuas are not well-suited as small children's pets because of their size, temperament and tendency to bite when frightened. It is recommended that children be 12 years or older before adding a chihuahua to one's home. Also, many Chihuahuas focus their devotion on one person, becoming overly jealous of that person's human relationships. This can be mitigated through socialization. Chihuahuas also tend to have a "clannish" nature, often preferring the companionship of other Chihuahuas over other dogs.

Chihuahuas seem to have no concept of their own size and may fearlessly confront larger animals, which can result in injury.

Answer 3

I would say get the dog.  It will take time for the pud to adjust, but adjust he/she will.  Right now in my home there are 2 parrots, 1 pud, and 2 dogs.  And they all get along very well with one another.  If the cat wants to be away from the pup he/she will find a place.  All will be right you'll see.  If I want a pet I just get the pet.  You may just have to keep an eye on them for a bit in the beginning, just in case...

Answer 4

Chances are, it will but it wont attack the cat. Since it will be raised with it since its a young puppy, they will get a long. They might not be friends but they will trust each other...Well the dog wont attackbut it will be cute. When you get home, they will fight for your attention. Like lets say yo come home and put the cat on your lap, the chi will jump up in front of the cat and try to make you pet it first...Its SO cute. Since they are both small, they cant do any harmful physical damage.  They might even become best buddies. Who knows. But im sure they wonthurt each other
