Does anyone else have a cat that likes to act like a dog?

Question

My 8 year old cat fetches, tries to eat anything that I eat, "barks", and loves to go on walks with his harness and leash on! Anyone else have a cat that has a "species complex?"

Answer 1

My cat Petey is like a dog. He is a one year old Siamese that eats anything: cheese, beans, chicken, tuna, hamburger, fruit, steak, jello ect.. He also loves my dog Max a pekinese. If max is locked in the bathroom for bath time Petey will try and rescue him by pushing on the door knob. Simone his sister pats Max with her tail if Max is sad.

Answer 2

my 8 year old cat fetchs also,, and makes a barking sound also,,, she was raised her first 3 years with a dog, not sure if that has anything to do with it. she actually fetched better than the dog did! she would and still does run to the door when someone rings the bell. when company comes she hangs all over everyone like a dog normally would.

Answer 3

We do. She plays fetch, chews on raw hides, and prefers to eat out of the dog dish as opposed to the cat food bowl. She's been real good buddies with our Lab since she wondered onto our yard. We figure she's having an identity crisis of some sort . . . an identity crisis that's been going on for over 4 years now! All I can say, is thank God she uses the litter box! Other than that, she is what she is and we love her. Certainly makes for some interesting conversations when we have friends over!

Answer 4

I used to have a cat that would fetch crumpled up pieces of paper that I threw for her. She also liked going for "walks" on a harness. By "walks" she would hop up on my shoulder while I walked her around. But she did like taking rides in the car with me and sit on my shoulder and let the wind blow on her.

Answer 5

My female cat loves to play fetch with a Twizzler Pull and Peel and my male kitten will sit up like a gopher and beg for food when I am cooking in the kitchen.

Does this count? :)

Answer 6

My cat fetched and ate anything i ate but the leash thing and the barking never happened.
he was a great cat.

Answer 7

Mine is kinda dog-like. he fetches also, waits for me by the front door, will eat almost anything & begs. never tried the leash thing, but was thinking about it now that it's getting warmer. he likes car-rides too...as long as he is not in the crate!

Answer 8

Yep, my cat JJ loves to play fetch, roll over, and swim in the bath tub, when I get in, and he loves to roll around in the mud.

Answer 9

Answer 10

You have a really strange cat but it is kinda funny to answer your question no I don't have a cat like that but I wouldn't freak it is quiet entertaining to see a dog trapped in a cats body sort of speak.
