a dog with fur and a long tail is not a "bit of a cat." They are two different kinds of creatures.

That's an arguable point. Compared to a squid, dogs and cats are nearly identical. Is a grizzly bear "a bit of a black bear"?

ROFL! They are in the BEAR family. It would not surprise me to see different types of bear mating and having offspring. It would surpise me to see a dog and a cat mating and having offspring. Would probably surpise them too!
