This is a real concern. Older cats are set in their ways, frequently will resent another animal being introduced into their lives at an older age. (I have experience with this.) Kittens not so much. They just want to play. A kitten would drive your dog nuts for a couple of weeks, but it is more likely they would become good friends.
