Is there a chance that a german shepherd thats a puppy can be socialized to get along with a cat ?

I bought my 11 week old german shepherd home a week ago at 10 weeks old and she barks at my cat but never bites or attacks her and the cat just sits there but sometimes swipes at the dog, google said it could take around 3 weeks for the dog to be cool around the cat what do you all think ?

They can work it out. She's young, acceptance will come easy. If you can, get comfortable with the dog in your lap sitting as close as you can to the cat. Every once in a while reach over and give the cat a scratch so the dog can see that the cat holds a position within the pack. After you pet the cat, rub it on the dog around her neck. At first she'll look at you like you're crazy, but she'll catch on.
If she is play bowing in front of the cat, then she has already accepted her and is inviting her to build a relationship the same way most dogs do.
