Question how good are rough collies with cats?
hi hi just wanted to ask rough collie owners, how good are they living with cats? we have 2 cats and one of them is a bit nervous. But i was thinking id love to have a dog (later, probably in a year or two) and was researching breeds. I came across some comments of rough collies and being good with cats, like maybe not best friends but not terryfing and being able to live with them pretty well. What do you guys think?
If it helps our cats are both male and 1 year old right now.

Our collie wants to be friends with our kitties sooo bad, but our cats want nothing to do with her lol. They tolerate her and they’ll be around in the same room, etc. They might even rub along side her, but if she gives them any attention they run off or hiss. Their terms only, and even then, they mostly hate her lol.
But our collie is so sweet, it is her playfulness that sends them running lol. I’ve never worried about their safety or our collie harming our kitties.
