Also, my Maine-coon is about the most dog-like cat I've ever seen.comes when you call it, follows me around the yard, has NEVER scratched me (really! -even with some rough play), and I don't need a cage to take her to the vet, just carry her in....just doesn't hang her head out the window during the ride!
Case in point:
Our two cats were raised with two large dogs. They are trained just like the dogs-to come, stay, get off, etc. And they beg and cuddle just like two dogs. Really weird!
