You can find me at Disneyland!!!!
I have a fun question.... Do any of you either have or use to have a pet that acted more like another kind of animal?

As for me, I use to have 2 rabbits who thought that they were cats (they were best friends with our cat JC, they ate from the cats food bowl etc).

Now I have 2 cats. One cat, Ripley, acts more like a dog. She LOVES balls. She drops them at your feet waiting for you to throw it. She follows us around EVERYWHERE in the house. She begs. She knows some commands. ETC.

Our other cat, Cali, acts more like either a rabbit or a goat. She jumps SOOOOO HIGH (compared to how small she is). She climbs onto things that we cant figure out how she got up to there. ETC.

I am interested to know know what "animals" you all have.

I have 2 cats that are really dogs in a cat body. They play fetch and are very loyal, following at my heels when I go from room to room. I think one of them must be a Lab because he's trying to eat the carpet AGAIN

Yes! I have a dog kitty. He follows you around, fetches things, greets everyone at the door, growls occasionally at "intruders" (which are really just noises from outside, but whatever, he's protecting us). He's very never been standoff-ish or particularly cat-like.

In reaction, Bella is twice the cat she needs to be

Trout is the same way. She loves to play fetch..follows me around anywhere I go. She also loves to sneak drinks from the toilet


The only difference is she eats really slow. I free feed her and it takes her at least 3 days to finish a bowl of food. She is not a little piggy

Well the cats think they are a dog and the dog thinks she's a cat. Its funny to watch the reactions cross-over from living together


I'm waiting for the "language exchange" to take place!
