Introducing a New Puppy to Resident Cats

My new Pit puppy wants to "play", but the two three year old cats just hiss and growl from under the bed when he comes around. It's been 5 days now. One of the cats comes out, but the other stays way clear from my puppy. Is this normal?

Yes. Cats don't gravitate towards dogs. Give it time and they will probably like each other better. They don't have to actually like each other, just not hurt each other! LOL. I am at this moment visiting friends for the first time with my new dogs. My friends have cats. The dogs have been fine with the cats, but the cats are still pretty leery of the dogs.
