My dog thinks she is a cat.....

My nearly five year old cat, Rook, came to us as a five month old rescue from a woman who volunteered with Cat Rescue of Maryland. He was a feral kitten from a feral cat, and Fran took them in because the kittens were all ill. One didn't make it, but Rook and his sister did. They were fixed and had their shots and just needed a home. We needed a cat. We took Rook. Now, Fran owns a few dogs, and these kittens "grew up" among the dogs. When we first got Rook, rather than hissing to show he was upset - he growled! Just like a dog! To this day we call him our "watch dog cat" because he is so aware when someone is about to come up our steps and knock or ring the bell. And when he senses this he stops what ever he is doing, stares at the door, and growls loudly. Sure enough, a moment later we'll hear a knock or the door bell!

I have two small Maltese dogs. One is quite normal but the other thinks she's a cat, just like yours. They both grew up with a cat but only the youngest acts like one. At night, they both sleep with me. The oldest usually sleeps on my pillow. The one who thinks she's a cat will start to walk over me to get on the other side but she doesn't just hop over like most dogs, she steps across me and, before she's fully on the other side, she starts stretching her back legs, one at a time just like a cat does. It takes her forever to walk across me to the other side of the bed. A long time ago I had a cat who played fetch! I'd crumple up a piece of paper and flick it across the room with my finger. The cat would run after it, pick it up and bring it back to me, dropping it at my feet so I'd do it again. He grew up with three dogs so I guess he thought he was one, too. Aren't animals funny?

Your dog has got the traits of a cat by remaining in the company of cats. You are lucky to have two in one pet. Dogs and cats are the bests friends ever. So you can have a cat also as a pet.

A cat in a dog's fur? hehehe :) Yes, I can imagine how your dog pretends to be a cat. It must be very funny. You should take some videos and upload to Youtube.

Wow!I laughed a lot when I read your text!My ex-girlfriend has a cat named Luna,the cat thinks she's a dog. She bites and have attitudes of dog! Like a pitbull-cat =)!

That is funny!. My dogs try to play with my cats and the other cats (but they are big huskies). I guess if he is around the cats more than dogs its understandable.

lol,, your dog is funny.. I hope she still remember how to bark But it's good anyway, atleast they do not fight.
