Right before Hurricane Katrina came thru I went an bought a kennel for Peanut Butter so if we had to leave i could kennel him and our little dog(who is already kennel trained)seperatly. I brought it home and put a towel in it for comfort if he had to be confined in there-- I left it in the hallway next to our bedroom door with the cage door open.
Our little dog is crate trained and due to incontinence issues she has to be kenneled when we leave for extended periods of time. So anyway, Peanut Butter has tried MULTIPLE times to "kennel" with calista when we go away. The other nite my son was laying on the floor outside our bedroom and PB was in his kennel. I asked my son if PB went in there by himself and he said yes. I didnt think anything about it. I have walked out of our bedroom several times to find that PB has "kenneled" himself. He will even paw the door closed while hes in it.
I know this is a good thing that he is comfortable with his kennel to just lay in there (with the door open or closed not locked) Im just wondering if my cat is weird-- i wonder if he thinks he may be a dog as we have had him since he was 4 weeks old and hasnt had any interaction with any other cats since we got him. He sleeps with calista, eats when she eats, and occasionally they play together. Could he think that Calista is a sibling or something?
