Thought I would make my first post...does anyone have any experience with
their cats having picked up habits from dogs. Our cat we rescued from
Battersea used to live with a dog...so they say. He (Fred) is 6 years old.
He sleeps fully on his back all four paws in the air. He lets you rub his
tummy, he constantly wants to be by you and gets under your feet, (I thought
cats liked their independance) and he bites my face in the mornings when he
wants feeding. With so many dog like traits, i swear he is a cat with a dog
just waiting to get out. Anyone like to psycho analyse my cat for me ?

It's all normal behaviour of a cat that is comfortable; count yourself
lucky, my cats aren't so affectionate!
My two live with a dog, but they don't copy any of its behaviour except that
they follow it when we go for walks.

Rob, What breed is Fred? Maine Coons are alot dog like.I have a Himalayan
she is like that too. But I have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy too. They get
along great but my cat has started acting more like a dog. How long have you
had Fred? Maybe he will settle down when he gets more confident with you.

I had a cat that was raised with a dog for four years and she acted just
like a dog. When she wanted to go outside, she would grad one of my belts
with her teeth. After awhile, I realized she must have thought it was a
leash, because the dog she lived with used to do the same thing with his
leash.

My cat thinks she is a dog. She was raised around a pitbull, and hates
other cats. She will terrorize other cats just like a dog. My
sister's pitbull is her best friend; they cuddle up together, sleep
together, play together. I've tried to tell her she's a cat, but she
just doesn't listen.

One of ours sleeps mostly on his back. We call him CPS as a nickname
because he was so protective of the younger cats and used to sleep with
3 of them when they were young. Cat Protective Services. He still is
protective and will not be petted when he is caring for another cat.
