He looks like a Riley too! Good luck with with the cat and dog intros. I'm sure it will work out for everyone. Hugs to all of you. 
I wish I could get another one now! If I didnt rent and owned my own house I would get a second one. 
I'm sure it'll be fine. Most cavs are great with other animals. Once the cats get used to him it'll be fine.

, any updates?!
They certainly are the cutest!Cavaliers are absolutely lap dogs. That is what they were bred to do. They sat on the laps of royalty to attract fleas away from the humans and saved their lives from deadly diseases. It is in their genes to want to sit on a lap at ALL TIMES. Seriously, Bosco is my shadow. He follows me everywhere. He is not happy unless he is two inches away from my leg or touching me.
That said, because they are so attached to people, it's important that you train them well as pups. Get them used to you leaving so you don't increase the potential for developing separation anxiety. And it's good to get them involved in other interests besides their people. They make great therapy dogs, some like doing agility, or learning obedience. I'm leaning how to do rally with Bosco and we are training for therapy work.
I think (though I may be biased) that this is the best breed ever. And that's great that you got a pup whose parents are health tested. That's the most important thing with this breed.
Let me see pics when you get him!!!
