Mine only acts like an odd-ball dog that hates to get his feet wet.

Ummmm - I have four demanding cats to compare my basenji with. No way are they similar. It would be interesting to get a response from a fellow basenj-cat owner.

The Basenji is a Congolese hunting dog that rarely (if ever) barks (due to its unusually shaped larynx), but does produce an unusual yodel-like sound. They also chortle, whine, squeal, and make a Basenji-specific noise called a baroo.
The Basenji is as fastidious as a cat about its personal grooming, even washing itself with its paws.
Most Basenjis, like cats, have a strong dislike for contact with water, and will go to great lengths to avoid getting wet.
Basenjis are also expert climbers, and have been known to scale chain-link fences as much as eight feet high.

Because they don't demand as much attention as other types of dogs (from my experience, at least). And they are lower energy like a cat.
