My cat thinks he's a dog.
He's the first cat I've ever had that comes to me when
I call him. He likes to leave his favorite toy in
my purse to be discovered after I get to work. There's
other examples, but here's his picture (again):





Here's baby Bonnie and teenaged Axie in love:

17. Is he a proponent of the "Great Leap Foreward"?
If so, then you are probably right.

I'd call DHS and have them put a tail on that cat!

3. That's a cool cat!
I too have a black and white bicolor with the long hair! He is trained to come when called and to go lay down. We trained him as a kitten. Now if he could only learn to fetch. ;)

What toy does your kitty put in your purse?

8. He has this tiny stuffed dog
He loves to wrassel with it and hold it whle he's sleeping.
It's not unusual to find it in my purse when I get to work.

Bonnie acts like Lassie. Derby was really sick one night and
shut up in the restroom. I mean he was REALLY sick. Bonnie would go
to the bathroom door, then come to where I was sleeping. She
woke me up and went running to the bathroom. When I didn't go with her,
she repeated the process until I followed her. Once I was there
to help Derby, she was okay.

4. He is adorable...
Our cat comes when he is called and Beast Man will wake up in the middle of the night to find Coleman's favorite toy on his head or belly.

11. That's so sweet!
Axie was asleep on my shoulder one night and began dreaming.
He started kneading my chest. In his sleep, he balled up a
little of my t shirt and began nursing on it. How sweet is
that?

He acts horrible at the vet - I mean batshitcrazyinsane.
One of the techs suggested I have him put down because
he's "vicious". Does he look vicious to you? Me neither.

5. My dog thinks she's a cat
She constantly acts annoyed by us.
She NEVER comes when she is called (only when she is ready)
She sits on the top of the couch and stares out the window (as if pining for her 'real' owners to take her away from this madness).

yep, our animals must have switched brains (and she is white with just a little black on her....must be your cat).

(not a very good pic, but here she is hating her life - Little Memo)

6. I had an orange cat once that fetched sticks.
Her name was Calamity and one day she just disappeared. She liked to climb trees and catch birds too.

12. I think you're supposed to be proud of him
He's showing you what a great hunter he is.

What is it about shoes? My mom's cat does the same thing
with the shoes.

14. Have you ever put your foot in a shoe which contained a dead mouse?
My cat once brought a huge dead rat into our bedroom. I made Mr. CB dispose of it.

15. Yup - my Roo was just like that.
Every time I'd come home, he'd come to the door, wagging his tail. He patrolled the house, and growled when the doorbell rang. And, he was known to bite, too. He would also eat anything (except fruit), but especially loved mushrooms, olives, popcorn, doritos, and whatever happened to be on my plate. He had a sneer like Elvis, and knew how to "woof" when he was happy. Best damned Fenine I ever knew. (oh, how I miss him!)

19. I had a cat like that. Tail-wagging, fetching, running to follow me
around. He even followed me, like a do (no leash) for entire walks around the neighborhood.

I'll never stop missing the little scamp. He got hit by a car a couple of years ago. He was only 7, but I gave him a very happy life.

18. Cat thinks it is a dog
I have a thought. I have had two black and white cats that look like yours. Mine were/are named Boo (died) and Rebecca (living). There is no doubt that the two of them thought and think they were/are dogs. I have an orange tabby and a gray and white also ---- both are strictly cats.

Rebecca is so bad she follows my two Goldens around and sleeps with them. Won't go outside unless the dogs are with her. Could it have something to do with being a black and white cat? Strange.
