Please share your coonhounds and cats together!!!

Hi, so I’m a vet tech student and I have a 5yo coonhound mix who is a big couch potato and pretty anxious over anything. Noises, certain things on walks like garbage cans or big trucks makes him turn around and dart to go home. He’s a very sweet boy but has not had a lot of social interaction since being brought up in his litter of 11. He gets so excited and awkward around new dogs he throws up from hyper salivating a lot. Barely barks unless he’s being playful and asserting dominance around new people. He doesn’t really have a prey drive, more so he gets into his hunting stance and the moment a “prey”(bird, squirrel, etc.) moves it scares him and he runs away lol.

That being said, I’m planning on doing a trial run with an adult cat if I get approved to next month. If I get approved I’ll be doing scent swaps prior to them meeting. The cats a very gentle and sweet one. If my dog shows any stress - adopting is definitely out of the picture because I don’t want him uncomfortable in his own home.

But I just want to ask: do any of you have cats? How do your coonhounds react to them?
