I'd let the puppy chase the cat unless it gets too bad and then I agree with 
everyone -- teach the puppy leave-it. Chances are, especially if the cat has 
claws, that the cat will be the most effective teacher.

Savannah who is a tough dog will molest the cat, Monkey, all night. Monkey, 
every once in a while, will get enough and even though he doesn't have any 
claws he'll turn the tables in a heart beat. We start laughing when we see 
Savannah getting a little out of bounds. Sure enough, we suddenly hear a 
whimper that turns into a pitiful scream and there she comes -- with Monkey 
chasing her around the house. Eventually, Savannah gets close enough to leap 
into one of our laps and buries her head in an armpit.

Kona would just as soon cats keep their distance, although he will allow one 
of the cats to rub around on him and give him kisses. He's had a scratched 
nose or two and realizes they are evil.
