That depends on the dog!
If you have a mastiff puppy and raise it around cats, it should be great with them.
If you get (or have) an older dog, you will have to assess how it will be. Keeping it on a lead, you can see how it behaves when you encounter cats on walks.
Be careful and cautious, for the safety of the cat ... many large dogs do kill cats. So if you don't know a dogs temperament and history, err on the side of caution.

Any animal properly socialized can learn to get along with another species especially in this case. I have a client with a very large and very mean mastiff that has a cat too. And the cat rules over the dog.

Usually yes. I have 5 cats with my Mastiffs, never had a problem.

I've had French and Neapolitan mastiffs and they have all been great with cats, babies and small dogs! The younger you get them used to other critters, the better, but they are a pretty laid-back breed and not very predatory.
