Feline evidence

On By CarynIn dog

The DNA panel on Missy, our 11-month-old pup, showed an eighth basically unknown. The listed possibilities included terrier, sporting, companion, herding (isn’t that just about all of them?). I am building evidence to support my theory that the last eighth is feline. (To recap, she is half cattle dog, quarter mini poodle, eighth bichon frise.)

She likes the cat scratching post.
She likes to sleep on the arm of the couch.
She likes to hang out with the cat.
She likes to be in boxes.
She likes to chase cat toys.
She likes to chase laser light.

Now I’m not sure any self respecting cat would put up with canine romantic attentions, even three generations back, so maybe in her last life she was feline. Or maybe she just identifies as feline in this life. Cats are pretty cool. Everybody wants to be a cat.
