MSNPA,
Have your cats ever been around dogs before? It might not be a bad idea to borrow one from someone and bring them around the cats as a test, just to see the reaction. Its so hard to say what will actually happen because so much depends on the temprement of the dog. If it is an aggressive dog or overly playful it will no doubt scare your cats to death for a period of time. I have found that eventually they do get used to each other but it may take alot of time and patience and you may have to keep your new pup confined to a seperate area for quite a while until the cats can get used to the idea of it being there.
I know how your feeling, Everytime I walk into a pet shop I want to buy a bird so badly( I just love birds) but I dont know how my dogs would react or my husband. I may lose my happy home! LOL
