Bringing Duncan:

home for my cats (and Mac) to 'educate'. Is it perverse, i.e. cruel, to
expect a terrier to co-exist with cats and varmints?

Is it coincidence that my last three dogs, herding breeds, except
Mac, have come to the defense of small animals? Once dog-sat a doxie
who chased cats; my OES cornered her and lay down on her. Worked a
charm.

Depends on the terrier. Many are known to co-exist happily for years with a
cat (or varmits) and then one day out of the blue, the owner comes home to a
dead cat.

Oh, BTW, FurPaw. When I left, there had been three adopters wanting
Duncan. Said nix until we've seen what _he likes. (Ah, the joy of being
non-public -- you can be as arrogant as you please. People looking
for lap-dogs want him; they're barkin' up the wrong boy.
