Yes, I'm worried it could become a high-risk situation for both of us. In your experience, how have you introduced a new pet to your home? Do you do it gradually, or do you simply let them meet in different parts of the house and see how they react to each other?
I don't do anything special, other than make sure the cat is in the house before you let the dog in. The cat naturally will disappear, then gradually they will do their own introducing, for better or worse.
