It is recommended to turn off trunking protocol and put vtp to transparent mode, this is because a newly introduced Catalyst switch may form undesired switch topology and if the newly introduced Catalyst switch has a vtp revision number higher than the current switch VTP revision then all vlan database of current switches will be overwritten.
