How does German Shaperd react to a new male cat pet in the house?

i have a 2 year old German shaperd boy. i am about to bring a new male cat as my second pet. How will the GSD react to the new male cat? will he accept the cat or dislike the cat? the cat is 3 years old. he is very easygoing and relaxed.

1. All depends on how you raised your GSD. If he's fine with animals on the streets when he's on his walk, then he should be fine with the cat.
2. It doesn't really matter what breed the dog is. I'd first introduced them through crates first and see what their reaction is before they meet each other. When it seems the dog ignores the cat, i'd introduce them with the dog on a leash.
3. one thing time only. smells and greets paw touching. shall take a while. be patient it will work out
