After they have smelled it bring the cat in a crate to greet the dogs. Let the dogs sniff the crate once the dogs stop having a huge interest in the crate (which could take a few hours) let the cat our but keep it in your lap don't let the dogs get very close after the dogs have calmed down again let the cat go. Get onto your dogs if they start chasing the cat or if the bark at the cat. Praise them for leaving it alone. See the end result? Rub a towel on the cat then bring it to the dogs to sniff.

It's not unusual for dogs to get along well with their own household's cats, whilst chasing away others. It's important to handle the introductions slowly so that they will view your new cat as a pack member. These links have lots of information and advice on introducing cats and dogs, which you may find helpful. Hope it all works out. Good luck.
