Is my cat really a dog?

Question

Just wondering if anyone else has an unusual cat? My cat (lets call him Max) loves to play fetch. He brings me his toys so that I can throw them and then he runs, retrieves and repeats the process again and again until one of us wears out. If he cannot find his ball or little mouse, he brings me toothpaste caps, trash bag ties, a sock or whatever he can grip up and carry. The largest thing I have seen him carry is this 18" love voodoo doll my fiance gave me last year. I call that his mate but I won't get into any details as this is another one of his personality quirks.

I didn't teach him the fetch thing. He just had a toy one day and dropped it in my lap while I was eating so I tossed it and off he went. Right now he is staring at me like a psycho. He must know I am talking about him. He is violent so if I do not pick a best answer, it means I am in the ER getting treated for multiple scratch wounds.

Answer 1

LOL I used to own a cat like that  but the sad thing is he would bring in dead animals haha sad but true he would bring them in the doggie door and set it either in doorwways or litteraly on my lap we finally got rid of the doggie door and just opened the door if they wanted to go out now he leaves it on the outside door step

honetly i just think cats are smarter

you definitly have a playful one that loves your attention

Answer 2

Each pet has different personalities, different preferences, etc. Not each is the same. My friend has a cat that 'barked' at people that came close to the door every time.

Answer 3

yup its a dog

Answer 4

My friends have five cats, and two will play fetch. I've seen it on youtube, and my cats even did it a few times. It was awesome. My cat's will also climb up your leg to get up the counter, but boys will be boys!

Answer 5

Answer 16

I have a 1 year old cat who is exactly the same!! She greets me at the door when I get home, jumps at the post when it comes through the letterbox, LOVES fetch, normally with socks - even though I've bought her lots of 'cat' toys.

Also very clumsy, my husband swears she is part dog! and she chases her tail.... so yes, I agree!!

She's brilliant, cats have great personalities :)

Answer 24

lol That's cute! You have a very active kitty! (Lets call it Max!)

Answer 25

I know a lot of cats that play fetch.  You shouldn't let your cat abuse you. When he nips at you it is best to turn him over on his back so you are in a dominant position and yell at him.

Answer 26

haha! thats funny.  

Answer 27

I have a friend who's cat loves to fetch, you're lucky you have a social cat!!! most of them just sit around hiding or drag dead things around the house.

Answer 28

I think my dog got switched with your cat at birth, because sometimes I wonder if he's really a feline.  

Answer 29

I think he is just a curious cat with an odd sense of fun for a cat.

Answer 30

Oh my gosh, you too.  I always tell people, "I have a cat, who thinks she is a dog."

Yes, it's true, your cat is a DOG trapped in the wrong body!

Answer 31

just seems like a very playful cat...maybe he is half and half lol
