Thank you everyone for your advice and inputs, I greatly appreciate it.
Pigmy is not a runner and WILL stand her ground. Like I said she won't use her claws (unless it's is very much required), but she can/will/and has dealt pretty solid smacks.
My advice to anyone who wants to have both cats and Basenjis is to make sure you have areas that the cat can go to for peace. It is unfair to expect a cat to be roughed up all of the time and annoyed by a Basenji.
She has two cat trees that are both over 4ft high. She eats on a little table that is just for her. And even though the current one is only knee high, I do have another one that I can use instead that is a high bistro type table, I don't really use it for anything now, lol.
IMO it is not good to have a cat if you are looking at getting a Basenji, most will bother cats. It is rare that a B will leave a cat alone, they are small prey to them.
I can understand that a lot of B's see cats as nothing more than trail bait, but like I said before she's not a small cat. here's a pic of her and my boxer, she is laying across his front legs.
