Not sure that made much sense, but he left both of them outside for my mom to find in the morning.

Ah, so he does do his share of supporting the family after all!

Haha. Nice. Good kitty. MrRaza, on the other hand, doesn't understand cats.

My dog has cat tendancies. We've gone out for walks and hes carried dead field mice into it. Wouldn't have noticed but he spit it out for a treat, and the mouse's tail was hanging out of his mouth lol. On top of that, when he comes inside and rolls around trying to scratch his back or whatever he sounds like he might be trying to so a deep toned meow.

Other then occationally putting dead mice in his mouth, spitting up a bunch of water after drinking too fast and leaving his toys around everywhere... hes a very clean dog in both aspects of keeping himself clean and his surroundings clean. As far as baths go, often more so in spring due to getting dirty water on him during walks but I only -need- to give him a bath maybe every 3 months + rare occations. I also don't give him a bath, which helps. I just put on swimtrunks and hop in the shower with him, its alot easier since its a walk in shower, and he has no where to run off to.

You think your dog is cat like? My dog:
Sleeps all day long
Licks ALL the time
Eats cat food (where available, he likes it better than dog food, we tried it last summer)
Would rather lay in the sun than go on a walk
Loves curling up on our lap (as much as a dog can curl up anyways)
Is probably smaller than the average cat
Will NOT touch water if he doesn't have to.

He doesn't need washing that much either, doesn't go out very much.

Someone should make an animal forum. People seem to enjoy talking about their pets. =P

Hmm, both your posts lead me to believe Adron is correct. Cats are way smarter than dogs. Ever hear of cats emulating dogs? No, that would be a downgrade. Dogs apparently look up to cats and respect them, and try to be like them.

People are way smarter than cats. Ever heard of a cat emulating a person? Trying to improve themself? No, that would be smart.

Atleast dogs have the balls to admit it when they're wrong

Yes. My friend has a dog that acts like a cat and cats that act like a dog.

A cat can imitate a dog. That's not emulation or downgrade, it's mockery.

Highly arguable.

Mejal has bathed her cat, and he seems to have liked it.

I do not agree that he liked it. He had no choice. He had crash landed in cow dung and looked like the white cat above, but brown. After that he had avoid to bath:(

Well, it'd be hard for him to bring it to me when its 4am and outside and freezing cold and while I was inside sleeping. Plus my cat gets bored with things that don't entertain him, and my dad let him in without my cat bringing in the two dead mice.

My cat doesn't try to act like a dog.

My cat is smarter than my brother, which contributes to Grok's theory.

(I did a small test, which verified it)

My cat likes to go out at night, and sleeps in front of our door usually with a few surprise mice waiting for us to clean up.

My cat likes the water. One day we went to the lake and she walked right in, but quickly went back to shore. I don't need to give her baths, she prefers to clean herself. Though when I need to give her a bath I just let her go into a light shower and she seems to love it.

My cat behaves.

Cats are also better because they give you the struggle to get their own respect and getting them to listen to you. Dogs sell out and more often than not try to get your respect.
