I am really glad that for our first Dutch we got him. He is perfect for the “beginner” venturing into the Dutch shepherd world. When I read all those comments in the thread “Duchies not for everyone”, I have to say I was scared out of my mind! I almost cancelled Odin and I am so glad I didn’t. Yes, it could have turned out very differently and my husband and I would have dealt with it accordingly - meaning, we were committed no matter what.
He is glued to me all day and never gives me any problems. He is such a sweetie. However, when his papa comes home I no longer exist.
My little fair weather friend!! I’m not complaining – just sayin. It’s actually nice to get a break. So, that’s all for now - just wanted to share how much we love him.

If it helps the first few weeks that Merlin saw cats around the yard he would get really excited as well. He was outside one day eating and a cat jumped the fence and was walking toward Merlin and his food. He isn't food aggressive but I was curious about how he would act since it was this stray cat he had been trying to get to. He jumped on the cat, who is calico, she scratched him a few times and ran off. Point of this story is, Merlin and this almost brindle stray cat are best friends now. I think they believe they are related. 
and when he lays down to enjoy the sun, she curls up with him and everything. In time maybe Odin will come to see your cats as just another family member and learn to enjoy their company too
