Beagle

At heart, beagles are hunting dogs bred to live and work in groups; therefore, they see cats as fellow members of the pack. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this cat-dog relationship. Beagles love to play outside but know that indoors, it’s time to calm down.

They also play well with other animals, using both energetic and gentle moves. Plus, having a companion at home helps prevent boredom in beagles, even if it’s just the judgemental eye of a feline. It’s best to socialize these puppies early with cats—and other dogs. One word of warning: they howl. So if your cat spooks easily at loud noises, keep that in mind.
