<<My cat has become a GSD. He doesn't know he is a cat. He has started following me around, including the bathroom. He is not a typical cat as he wants the same attention, feeding schedule and routine as the dogs. Cats are supposed to be independent, aloof and stingy with their attention. Afterall, humans are beneath them, LOL! Not this guy. >> My cat was almost 2 when I got him and so was the GSD I had at home. They pretty much instantly fell in love. I'd get after the dog thinking he was bing to rough only to look over a moment or 2 later and the dog is still laying down trying to be good as the cat is rubbing all over him and rolling around on his front feet trying to get the dog to do something. Currently I am dogless but occasionally I my one petsit dog gets to go run errands with me and my cat is ecstatic when those errands include a stop by the house. The dog (75# or so GSDx) wants to explore the house and my cat tries everything in his power to get the dog to play with him. It's great when it works but even funnier when it doesn't as the dog is trying so hard to sniff around and my cat keeps flopping in front of him, against him and just generally being a pest. As for aloof & stingy with their affection, not my cat either. In fact we call him puppy cat frequently because he's much more dog like than cat like in his attitudes. ~Sarah _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/171222984/direct/01/ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
