If you get a young dog or puppy the cat shouldn't be a problem. If the pup grows up with the cat around it will be used to it. Strangely enough many dogs can grow to fit into your lifestyle. As for the barking thing....it takes training. Any wanted and positive behavior must be toned and praised. No dog it perfect. Even if you think you have the perfect breed in mind...without training you'll have a little devil of a dog. There are breeds that are calmer than others, small, medium and large. The some you socialize the better.
