Please think about it.
My cat is young, big and tough, and he was NOT happy when we brought the dog home. He had never lived with a dog before. We let him see the dog through the sliding glass door, and he puffed out, walked up to the door, hissed, and smacked it with his paw. We set up a couple baby gates and one of those cat towers so the cat could watch safely from a distance. After a few months, they just got used to each other. Every once in awhile the cat still gets mad at the dog for no apparent reason, but they mostly get along and even occasionally show each other something that resembles affection.
