Take it from a Cat lover and an aspiring vet, Cat's can easily hold their own in a fight. I've seen an adult cat go up against a saint bernard (For those that don't know a saint bernard is F-ing HUGE!) and all it did was raise up it's paw and strike the dog's noise. Dog ran off with it's tail between it's legs. Dog's generally chase cats because of a natural curiosity to the unknown, the cats run away because, well a giant drooling thing is running at them (I'd run away too) and that makes the dog want to chase the cat as a game. Once the cat gets used to the dog they'll become good friends. Get a very young cat and hold onto your dog while you introduce the two that way the cat will grow up with the dog around and won't worry about it.
