Kiss was not bad with the cats when she first arrived but she was showing enough interest in them that she was listed as Cat Workable instead of Cat Tolerant. My first Greyhound, Venus, tested this way also & has lived very peacefully with cats for years. The speed of Kiss' progress toward good canine/feline relations has been a nice surprise. She has now earned the privelege of going without a muzzle. Kiss will still need careful introductions to new cats in new locations close supervision with them, including being muzzled, at first but it is completely reasonable to expect many, many more scenes like the one below:
Good girl, Kiss!

Have not yet mentioned anything about housebreaking Kiss. That is because it has been a non-issue. There have been no accidents so far including being left for as long as 5 hours. She has not chewed anything except dog toys. Her access is limited to living room, dining room & kitchen, and she is still in an x-pen or crate when we are not here. (She sleeps in a crate in our bedroom at night.) With proper supervision she should adjust just as well in a new home.

Sounds like she's off and racing to a new home soon. She's a real cutie!
