So, are Huskies good with cats? Huskies don’t exactly get along with cats in most cases. They have a strong prey drive and must be supervised at all times when left alone with small animals. If you leave a cat alone with a Husky, you’re placing the cat at risk of harm.

Huskies just don’t view smaller animals as “equals.” However, having a cat doesn’t mean you can’t have a Husky. To learn more about how Huskies interact with cats – and how you can help them co-exist peacefully – read on.

Why Aren’t Huskies Good with Cats?

Huskies are were sled dogs that have been bred to withstand the fiercely harsh conditions of cold northern regions. As such, food is scarce in the snow-filled wastelands of Siberia, Alaska, and other locations that Huskies were bred in.

This scarcity of food caused Huskies to evolve to attack any small animal that could be food for the canines. The Husky’s prey drive is instincts, so it’s impossible to “unlearn” their desire to chase down cats.
