I don't understand...

I have often said Trixie thinks she is a dog and Callie thinks she is a cat. It was merely an observation based on their attitides and actions, not a desire to have Callie become a cat and Trixie turn into a dog.

It would be rather comical though to have them swap.... another "Freaky Friday" scenario! Callie would be thrilled to be able to jump up and eat the cat food that she cant reach. Trixie would finally be welcome outside. Then they would realize they liked their real lives and wish upon a star that they return to their own fur.

I have two dogs and two cats. One of my cats sometimes does "dog-like" things. I didn't choose him because of this, in fact he was too young for me to even know this about him. Maybe he picked it up from the dogs. But I still love him just the same. Both of my cats fetch toys. I'm beginning to realize this is not a dog thing afterall.
I don't read into that too much when people say it. It's not a big deal to me either way.

I have had Cats who have had traits that are considered canine like fetching and coming when they are called and thats a good thing especially when its carrier time to the Vets.
Of course all my Found Hotel Cats come when they hear that shaking of the Whiska Temptations pouch , as do Dogs I bet when they hear their treats shaken!!!

My cats act like cats, and that is why I love them! None of them fetch (good, my past dogs have driven me crazy with that!), they don't ask for me to take them to the park, they don't keep the neighbors up barking all hours of the night (they're actually pretty quiet at night), they DO greet me at the door when I come home from work (not all of my dogs did this, so I consider it a "cat thing" to do).
Dogs have their good points, they will sometimes protect their owners,which cats are not known to do very often, they are cute when they wag their tails when you come into view (when any of my cats swish their tail, it is not generally because they are happy). Cats don't play Frisbee with you (the very best thing dogs do, in my opinion), so they have that over cats. But, by and large, I enjoy the traits of cats more than that of dogs and that is why I own cats. Dogs are wonderful in their own way, though, and I understand why people own them.
