My dogs are great with the cat but they will chase her when she runs too (which doesn't happen that much thankfully). It's very annoying. I make sure that the cat has places where she can be away from the dog. We have a gated area off the kitchen for cat food and the basement door is open for her too (the dogs don't go down there. I'm not exactly sure why. I guess our first dog didn't dare so the others never dared either LOL).
But otherwise, I'd keep a leash on the dog at all times, and step on it with a firm NO (or a deep 'bah'. Or whatever works for you to get his attention) if he starts chasing. I don't like redirecting because it seems more like 'you're getting praised for being bad' to me. Definitely praise like crazy when he's gentle with the cat though.
Really, my cat will come and rub her face against my dogs though so I don't think that she minds that much anyway...
