Samie 175 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 All, So I had a moment of realization yesterday. My boyfriend and I were talking about our views on dogs. He has the perspective of they should be a loyal companion and do what is required. I have more of the perspective they should have an individual and unique personality and it should be a relationship. Now, it is well know to all my friends that I am totally a cat person, but I love dogs as well. So what did I do? Went out and found the most cat like temperament of a dog I could find lol. Seriously, I have an extremely playful cat that is full of personality. From everything I've read about these dogs on the forum, it sounds like I'm getting another animal like my cat except I can take this one out for walks. Does this seem true? Let me know what y'all think? 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LakeGirl 779 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 As our Kaposia grew and matured, my husband and I often wondered if somehow Kim had worked a bobcat into the AID lineage. LOL! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Felix 366 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Chepi is definelty like a cat. She even rubs up against our legs and slow blinks at me like a cat 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KittynDoc 968 Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Wyot certainly loves his cuddles, and noses his way under our arms and hands, making sure we keep petting him. Outside, I swear the way he jumps is totally bob-cat like! Amazing intuition, too... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allison 2,369 Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Kooskie will take 40 minutes, to creep 15 yards, as she stalks the squirrels. She sneaks along just like a cat, just one paw at a time. Slowly, slowly... Is she moving? They don't know. I am astounded at her diligence, and her patience. She is very cat-like. However, her choice of prey is very dog. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sschenck 236 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 My boys don't behave like cats but they do adore their kitties, Opal and Hazel; they snuggle with them any time the cats are willing! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vlkea01 106 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I was amazed yesterday as Noquisi was on his back and suddenly left the floor and landed on all fours! He also slowly stalks squirrels and birds. He never ceases to amaze me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NorCal 350 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Zuni is cat like in a few ways but the strong streak of independence is the biggest part for me. Definitely not a labrador! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Samie 175 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 So now that I have Haru, I can say with confidence that I did indeed pick the most cat-like dog I could find. She does all the between the foot with the legs rubs and brushes and the weird contorted sleeping positions. As well as that independence streak. Also, first thing after she wakes up she gets super cuddly and lays down in my lap 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NyteByker 535 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Nakoma is part cat and part fox. ... and part human (he's gotta be). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Samie 175 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Nakoma is part cat and part fox. ... and part human (he's gotta be). I will second the part human. My fiance says she's like having a conversation with a 3 year old that has just grasped the meaning of language. "Haru, it's time to go to bed" "No Mom, no bedtime." 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KittynDoc 968 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Haru doesn't like bedtime either? LOL!!! Kitchee knows the drill...he's got a towel as his sleep mat (doesn't rip it apart, and it's warm for him). It is disheveled, so works like a snuffle mat- last walk of the night, his harness comes off, and he runs circles all the way to his crate...because he knows he gets 3 tiny kibbles that I throw in there, and he has to search for them...and it's time for sleep, as the door to the crate closes, and I keep repeating "sleep" and "goodnight, Kitchee". Sometimes he settles right away after finding the kibble pieces, other times there are cries of protest for a minute or two (yes, they almost sound human, lol!), and when he finally realizes everyone else has gone to bed...finally, SLEEP.- with an audible sigh, of course! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
