My dogs like him but the little kitty gets really scared, is there anything I can do to get him used to my dogs?

Just give it time and sometime quite awhile. Cats aren't as open and friendly as dogs. Just let them work it out themselves. Besides you cannot make a cat do anything. It will work out in time.

Be patient and be with you cat at all times when with your dog. If your dog is really being nice, your cat will come around in time, maybe weeks, but it will happen. Funny though, most times it is the dog that won't get along with the cat. Is your cat neutered? Maybe that has something to do with it. Good luck to you, it will work out in the end, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, different ages and sizes that get along great now, but with some work. It is well worth the work.

It's usually done by letting them grow up together right when they're puppies and kittens...
but i did it wif 2 grown up cats and a puppy. Also dont yet let them in a room without u or someone else with them cause cats will hiss dogs will bark and yer.
The only way to get them to really like each other is to let them go with the flow. You can't force them, but if they truly don't like each other there really isn't anything you can do. just try and best of luck.

Have your dogs sleep on a towel for a couple days then put it on your lap while you are petting the kitten, it will start to associate the smell of the dos with being pet and will eventually begin to get along with them, it will take some time though.

If the cat is still pretty young you can condition him to like you dogs. Try putting them in adjoining rooms with a gate or something in between. Let them see each other but not come in contact.
Make sure the cat does not feel her food is in jeopardy.

I have a puppy that lives with my 2 cats and they just wack them in the face. I have never figured out how they will get along, maybe you should have buying them both at the same time. I heard that works
