I'm wondering if my cat Meeko is turning into one of the dogs? She runs to the door when the doorbell rings, or if someone comes home, and she sits in front of the door, she sits in front of us when we are eating and begs for food, she will touch me with her paw and keep tapping me until I give her some chicken, she likes to eat the dogfood, she sleeps in front of the patio door and suns herself, and she sleeps on her back. The only thing she's not doing yet is barking or whining, but I'm sure that's the next thing my parrot is going to mimic. Lol. My parrot already mimics us laughing. I think my cat is confused.
When my boys were young, we had a kit we raised with an eye dropper. He never saw another cat-just dogs, and he never did act like a cat-but a dog! He never did learn to bark, though he did think he was one of the dogs. Actually a cat that thinks he is a dog makes an even BETTER cat!
