Poodles get along perfectly well with other pets in your family, particularly if they're brought up with them. Since poodles relate so well to the humans in the family (and often seem to consider themselves human), they may treat the other animals like their own pet, rather than as a peer. But there's no harm in that. Poodles and cats can certainly become the best of friends. To a great degree, the success in the relationship depends upon the cat.
