I've dealt with this more times than i can count. And while i've had really tolerant (and male, which i imagine helps cuz female cats are bitches--go figure) cats, there's usually a little friction at first. The puppy will usually know when the cat hisses that it's time to back off. He may not though, if he's really hyper, and you may have to step in. Calm him down, and assure the cat. They'll work it out, especially as it becomes clear to the cat that the dog's gonna be MUCH bigger than herself.
I've had really good luck with cats and dogs co-habitating; even to the point where they are really close--i still have an orange tabby that literally (no exaggeration) MOURNED for my black german shepard when he passed. They were best friends, i've never seen anything like it.
