Does your cat and greyhound get along or just tolerate each other? When I had a cat and dog they were really playful snuggle buddies, but they grew up together as kitten and puppy.
There's one-sided tolerance. He absolutely loves them and wants to be friends, will come right up to them and sniff them and their butts, even try to lightly lick them. All the while he wags his tail like the giant dork that he is. But they just tolerate him, and although they're older (they were 13 when we got him, are 15 now) and pretty set in their ways, I'm continually astounded with how well they get along/don't attack each other.
In fact, this happened the other day when he was sniffing Chloe:
Note: That was not a strike by any means, it was more like her patting him. My heart melted and I was over the moon to have captured a photo of it <3
Slightly depressing side note: Does anyone know what this could be? (Slight graphic warning, nasty looking ulcer thing. Not a closeup though!)

Indoor-only cat, and it does look like the sore has gotten bigger (though it doesn't seem to cause her pain or trouble eating). We're in touch with a vet but because neither of our cats like to be picked up AND she's quite old and skinny as it is (she's been skinny for a few years though, no idea why) we're worried about even transporting her, let alone any treatment they might want to give her for it.
We're trying to organise an in-home visit and they're also suggesting giving her something to calm her down so we can bring her in, but my wife (they're her cats initially) is paranoid any kind of medication could kill the poor girl :(
I'm not one to normally go for internet advice or whatever, but if there's a way we can treat the sore/her without causing her anxiety/stress, it would be the best option I think.
Just to bring this post back around, here's a photo I took of our Chloe having a lovely stretch:
