    Default Dogs and cats who think they are people

    This is of course the reason they always want to sit in your chair or on the keyboard of the laptop.

    There is definitely confusion in most indoor pets' minds about whether they are furry humans, or maybe you are a large, really smart and powerful cat or dog.

    I don't think there exists a cat humble enough to think it is a human, rather than a deity.

    my cat wants to be a dog. he licks me constantly, and picks up my bf's shoe in his mouth and carries it around. weirdest thing ever, so funny looking. i would say there's more confusion with people thinking that their pets are people than the actual pets thinking that. i hate to see ppl yelling at their pets like they understand them, or feeding them human junk food, or dressing them in outfits that make them miserable..

    Right!
    I gotta add, my bunny! She's gone now, but she was somethin' else! She was very bossy, a tiny thing, but boy I better pay her attention when she wanted, or an immediate sharp nip for me..she would also bite the book I tried to read, if I dared hold her at the same time. She would sit on the bed & knock everything else off, remote, whatever..
    She was very sensitive to my moods, & gave me kisses when I was sad.

    What I like doing sometimes is getting down on the floor and acting like a dog, running around chasing them barking, jumping on the furniture on all fours and so forth. They go apeshit if you do this! You can see them going 'Aha!! He really IS a dog!' in their minds.

    Same thing with cats to a lesser extent. Like if you rub your forehead on theirs the same way they do, they love it--a little extra kitty bonding.

    My cat was raised with dogs so he thinks he is one. He begs for food, he comes when you call him and he will play. He loves to play with my dog (and the two he outlived)and sleeps with him. My dog is smart as was my last one (RIP)who listens when I talk to him and usually responds. I have a bird too but he does his own thing.

    If truth be told I like animals more than people and mine are so much smarter than most people I meet.

    My cat thinks he is a dog. When I first got him as a kitten, he tried to nurse off our German Shepherd, who in turn guarded him and his sister like puppies. Now he comes when called, licks everyone, will carry things around in his mouth, and cuddles with my dog.

    My dog thinks he is a person. He sleeps in bed with his head on the pillows, uses his paws as hands (he'll try to pick up his toys with his paws, and if you pop him with your hand he gets this expression like "No, fuck YOU" and slaps you right back with his paw), and he goes through phases where he stops eating dog food and acts like he expects to be fixed a plate at dinner. He'll also take pillows and blankets and build forts out of them to sleep in.

    He does a lot of other weird shit too - instead of mouthing, he literally pokes things with his nose (he'll look at it and do this sharp thrust forward with his head). He also lays with his back legs turned out at the hip and army-crawls under tables. He is literally the weirdest dog anyone has ever seen, in terms of behavior.
