Hey, /an/. First time posting here, I hope you can give me some insight.
I have a medium female dog that was adopted when she was very young. Since I was a child and my family wasn't really responsible, the dog grew to be territorial and agressive towards strangers. It's kinda hard to deal sometimes, but we manage. She's 10 years now.
So, some shit happened in my life and I'd like to get a cat. I live in a apartment that has enough room for both, for sure. Buuut I'm afraid my dog will kill the cat. The times when I tried to introduce my dog to other animals didn't have good results: she growled and would attack if she could.
But could it be possible that she has any... maternal instinct? Maybe if I gradually have her being around a kitty she will get used to it?
I have some friends that have kitties for adoption, and they said I could "borrow" the cat to see if it works out. If not, I can give it back.
Is it a terrible idea? If not, how can I make this happen?
tl;dr: I have a angry dog. Can I get a cat without it being killed?

no, kill the dog and get the cat

Make your dog not want to kill things.
Maybe then...
