Aww, poor doggy. Should have formed a self-help group with my dog, she always believed she was a cat and preferred cats to to dogs. She had one special friend who always met her when we went out and would run up to her meowing, brush up to her and then play with her a bit... It was great to see people's expressions One time the cat had caught a mouse and dropped it in front of my dogs feet and sat down looking up at her for a moment before picking it up again and running off. My dog was rather befuzzled by that, she didn't exactly have a strong hunting instinct.

This dog must have been with cats from a very young age. There is a giraffe that imprinted a jeep as its mother and a swan that imprinted a ping pong ball so anything is possible.

How cute. Animals tend to bond with the first mother figure they see and spend their time around. It must have been pretty young when it went into that house.

Sometimes I wonder if my dogs think they're cats. They're both Bull Terrier X who prefer cats to dogs, and have a thing for sitting on peoples laps It's pretty cute

Dogs think they are human...cats think they are Gods. So where does this puppy fit in....

It can happen to any species. Even in this modern age, some children are found feral. http://strange-funny-bizarre-anything-out-o.tressugar.com/983101

Awww I have a Jack Russell and two cats and although she likes to get in the cat food she definitely does not think she is a cat, she thinks she is God around here.
