If it is a very small, baby turtle, they may try to capture it and eat it. But I don't think they have enough bite force to break through a baby turtle's shell, so once the turtle retreats inside, there's not much they can do.

Once the turtle grows to an adult size, I seriously doubt the cats will try to mess with it. They definitely cannot bite through an adult turtle's shell. And adult turtles can -- and will not hesitate to -- bite, and they can bite down very hard. If the cat is bitten even once, it most likely will never go near the turtle again.

When I first got my baby turtle, my cats definitely showed an interest in her. Enough of an interest that I was a little bit afraid for the turtle's safety. But once she got a little bigger, they lost interest. Now she is a fully-grown adult turtle, and they pay absolutely no attention to her, unless I take her out of the tank and let her crawl around on the floor. Then they will cautiously approach the turtle, but in more of an investigatory way, not a predatory way. They don't try to attack her.

yes, if you raise them together as babies, plus do not feed them meat, or introduce them to any type of blood, they cant even smell blood, you have to keep them on a tight leesh.

Probably not. The cat would most likely try to eat the snail.
