Small animals like rabbits, chickens, and rats stay in the cage until the novelty wears off and the cats realize it's another pet, not food, and then everyone gets along fine. Dogs are kept on leash until it's clear how they're going to behave and then I let them mingle. I don't think I've ever had anyone not get along after no more than a month.

I think the oddest was when my shepherd found a stray hamster for us. Introductions were made before the humans came into the picture!
