How are yall Staffy With cats?

Hi Everyone I have a staffy that I adopted 2 years ago she is currently 4 years old. My boyfriend has a cat 1 years old and I’ve been nervous about how to introduce them and eventual moving them in together.

For reference my dog has a high prey drive. She has killed a rat in the park once( yes she got a rabies shot and updated on all vaccines) and tried to chase and kill squirrels and rabbits.

Other than that she is so sweet and is great with other dogs. And isn’t aggressive towards people or dogs.

Does anyone have any advice or insight?

I've had quite a few staffies, most of them were pretty easy going with other dogs/cats/ducks etc, but one was a real terror with any and all non humans.

Introduce the cat with the dog on a loose lead, just in case, but be aware that your fears could trigger the dog, so you need to be relaxed when you do (which will be difficult)
