My cat is and has always been kind of like that. She will speak on command, follows me around like a wet puppy, very dog-like in disposition.
My Abby was in many ways like a really smart dog.
My cat is every bit as special as her 'puppycat', he even thinks he is a dog.
"My cat is and has always been kind of like that. She will speak on command, follows me around like a wet puppy, very dog-like in disposition."
Now you gotta find a car of the opposite sex that acts like a dog and mate them. Keep doing this and make a new breed. This is exactly how dogs where breed by humans.
Cats are evil.

"puppy-cat" ping?
I have a Korat cat... it has all those same qualities and is a heck of a lot more beautiful... here's some pics of the breed:

Apparently animal husbandry is not this woman's strong suit (nor PETA's).
My Korat plays fetch, is more authentically Siamese than the breed of that name, has no hairball issues, and is better looking too!
In mathematical terms:
Korats > all other cats
Any cat >>>> dogs
She had those follow-the-people dog-like urges, but she had regular cat pride and aloofness.
When my wife and I would go upstairs retiring for the evening, the cat would follow. But, only after a prideful delay of five to ten minutes, trying to give the appearance that her retiring for the evening when we did was nothing but coincidence.
And when she got upstairs, she wouldn't come fully into the bedroom. She would sit in the door way ~~~~with her back facing into the room~~~~ just for an extra little display of indifference.
Actually, I don't think this is altogether rare. People talk about them all having different personalities. Well, they may each have their own set of "plays." But they all come out of the official cat "playbook," which really is a fairly small document. (It's first page used to explain to cats how to respond to paper grocery bags on the floor which came awfully close to being a universal cat behavior. Don't know what they do now with the prevalence of plastic grocery bags.)
Your will never see a breeder try to make a dog look like a cat...muahhahahahah
Cats are on this planet so dogs have somthign to chase...its that simple...
ROTFLMAO!! You just reminded me of a time when I was on the phone trying to have a series conversation and here comes a plastic grocery bag with claws and paws flying out of the bedroom, slamming into the kitchen table, and rocketing back into the bedroom -all within about four seconds.
I dropped the phone because I was laughing so hard!!
I have a half-Korat....oh, what a mess he is! He's such a sweet, smart kitty and such a HANDFUL! But yes, doglike sums it up well.
I wonder if she meant feral cats? Except for Cougar and Bobcat families there are not any true wild cats in this Country. If the two feral's mated I think the " dog like" traits are most likely a glitch in the gene system.
There is a very good reason why you do not have the variety of appearance among cat breeds as you do among dog breeds. I mean compare a poodle and a greyhound.
I am not an animal breeder but something just does not sound right to me.
I once had a cat with those traits, the problem was it kept chasing itself up a tree.
