Does your cat act more like a cat or a dog?

I think mine acts more like a dog. and when I say dog, I mean like the little pansy dogs that get carried everywhere and have their own special carrying bag. my cat is a diva.

Does your cat act more like a cat or a dog?
My 24 pound Maine Coon cat comes when I whistle. He likes to wrestle. Today he caught a mouse and didn't seem to know what to do with it.
Reply:Hi Sylas...both my cats think they are dogs in disguise. Both cats love to go for car rides and walks so to ensure they will be safe on our outdoor excursions I've decided to leash train them. I think they enjoy it even more now since they can go anywhere I go and meet people and dogs who come to sniff them out.





They also can put dogs to shame as both my housecats not only understand obedience commands (come, sit, down, etc) but are also toilet trained, can flush the toilet, go to wherever I point, follow a target anywhere, jump through hoops, roll over, fetch, take apart a 3-D layered puzzle, wave, give a high-five, raise a paw to ask a question, fetch, do agility (like dog agility), walk on a leash in public and so much more. They understand both visual and verbal cues/signals as well and learn most new behaviours quite quickly within a matter of days and for the more complex behaviours such as balancing and walking on a basketball in a month.
Reply:I have one cat that acts like a cat (i.e. she hangs out by herself and, frankly, could care less if I exist so long as she gets fed and her box is clean). I have two that act more like dogs: one fetches and returns paper clips when I throw them to her; the other goes outside on a leash (I don't let my cats out unattended) and also likes riding around on my shoulder and playing in the toilet (he always takes his toys and drops them in; he's lost quite a few when someone didn't look before they went to the bathroom) or in any sort of water (if you let him in the bathroom, he'll walk into the shower while you're in it; one time, I fell asleep in the bathtub and when I woke up, he was sleeping on top of me, in the water). Everyone who has met the second one (the leash/toilet/shower cat) loves him, especially the people who usually don't like cats. They always say that he acts like a dog and that's why they think he's cool. He is cool, but he's a total freak. He loves riding in cars (he likes to perch on the dashboard on on the headrest) and you can take him anywhere and he doesn't get freaked out...he seems instantly at home no matter where you take him.

My 6 month old Husky mix PUPPY acts like a cat!


He lives with 5 cats, so he's definitely the minority here!





He's picked up several traits from the cats like:


- licking his paws %26amp; cleaning his face


- Using his paws instead of his nose or mouth to get your attention or during play


- He'll lay on his back while the cats lick his face





I think if he could fit into the litter box he would use it like they do! What a relief that would be... not having to take him outside to poop %26amp; pee 20 times a day!

Reply:My old cat used to think he was a dog. He used to only sit with our dogs, and only eat their dog food and dog bones and run around with them!! I used to wait for the day when he would start barking - talk about an identity crisis!
Reply:i think you do act like them because i think your also a diva...
Reply:My cat is just like a dog. He begs for human food, and he acts like one of those wimpy dogs. He'll start a fight with my roomates cat, and when she goes to bite him back or something, he runs to me squeaking. (He cant meow) And he licks people! He comes up to me all the time and tries to lick my face. And the way he sleeps is like a dog too. I sleep on my stomach sometimes, and when I do, he lays right in the middle of my legs, sprawls out, and sleeps with his mouth open.
Reply:My cat, Panther, acts like dog. He's not hissy or scratchy and he even fetches. I'll throw his toy mouse and he'll run after it , bring it back and drop it at my feet over and over. He's a large muscular cat, too.
Reply:Mine is like a dog...u open anything from a soda to candy wrapper, and there she is sitting a foot in font of you watching every bite or drink go in your mouth....she wont leave u alone until u let her smell it to see if she likes it or not.

Reply:well he carrys a ball about like a dog,but thats all
Reply:i've had two cats now that both had traits of a dog--very good listeners and obedient.





my first cat developed many routines which she held onto steadfast til day she passed away.





now, our second cat acts very peculiar like a dog. he goes outside every morning and stays outside (where he does all of his business) until he is let in around 4-5:30. he never goes in the litterbox (keep one just in case) and he sleeps ALL night long right next to me.





his favorite toy: a crumpled up piece of paper. on nice days i go outside and throw it as he chases. we haven't quite got him to bring it back everytime but he has once or twice!
