Cats who were raised by dogs have gradually become "dog-like" in their painting style. They are not afraid of water and love to swim.

I have been thinking about a question, how does a cat know that he is a cat? If he lives with dogs since he was a child, will he still think he is a cat? Recently, I seemed to have found the answer from a cat.

A cat raised by a dog

Seeing this kitten swimming desperately in the water, if I didn't tell you the cause and effect, most people would probably think that it was maliciously thrown into the water! After all, in popular belief, cats are naturally afraid of water.

If I told you that this kitten jumped into the water by itself, and it especially likes swimming, would you believe it? All of this starts from the childhood of the cat.

This orange cat named Wanzi was a little stray cat picked up by his owner from the roadside. He grew up with four dogs from an early age. When he first arrived home, Wanzi was timid and helpless, hiding in the cupboard and afraid to come out.

Due to work reasons, the owner cannot stay with him all the time, so the four dogs take on the responsibility of cat mothers, taking the initiative to play with Wanzi to let him know that he is not alone; and sleep with Wanzi to become his warmest haven.

Accompanied by the dogs, Wanzi gradually came out of the grief of losing his mother and became the dogs' "little follower".

Wherever the dog goes, the cat will follow. His own water basin is not far away, and he has to stand on his two little feet to drink from the basin of water with the dog.

The owner was also very happy to see the cat and the dog playing crazy, noisy, and carelessly every day. Slowly, the owner noticed that something was wrong with Wanzi's painting style. Why did his temperament and behavior become more and more like a dog?

The cat seems to have a cognitive bias towards its own identity. One time, it looked at its reflection in the water for a long time. Who is this ugly animal in the basin? It can’t be me, I’m obviously a dog!

The cat took the initiative to jump into the sea.

The owner lives near the sea and often drives the dogs to the beach to play. Every time he takes the four dogs out, Wanzi will be very reluctant to leave and meow in grievance.

That time, the owner couldn't help the cat's pleading and took him to the beach with him. He thought that when Wanzi saw the majestic sea, he would be scared and run away. After all, most cats are afraid of water.

What is unexpected is that Wanzi is not afraid at all and walks happily on the beach, letting the sea water wet its little paws.

When the owner was shocked that cats are not afraid of water, this little guy gave him an "unexpected scare". The dogs, who had long been accustomed to living at the beach, rushed to the sea and swam happily in the sea.

Unexpectedly, the cat also followed the dog's footsteps and jumped into the sea water. This frightened the owner. He quickly ran over and tried to fish the ball out of the water.

To the owner's surprise, Wanzi did not drown, but swam freely in the water like a fish. You know, no one had ever taught this cat to swim. This was the first time the cat went into the water, and he didn't expect it to swim so well.

Isn’t it said that cats are naturally afraid of water? As everyone knows, in Wanzi's heart, he has long regarded himself as a dog. Isn't it normal for dogs to be able to swim?

It became more and more like a dog

After discovering that cats are not afraid of water, the owner took the furry children on a boat ride to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the water. Occasionally, Wanzi would jump into the water and swim laps. As he swam, the cat grew up, and his temperament and character became more and more like a dog.

Like dogs, it will dig holes and sand on the beach, run with the dogs in the water, and will challenge every dog ​​over its own power, but it will win every time (because the dogs will let it).

Every time he sees Wanzi and the dogs returning from the waves, the owner will think of the word "domineering"! Inexplicably, he has a kingly demeanor.

According to the owner, Wanzi grew up freely and without any worries under the love of four dogs. He also learned and imitated the dog's behavior subtly, and he may not even be aware of it.

The owner feels that Wanzi is a cat with the soul of a dog. It may not realize that it is a cat in this life, but what does it matter?

Who stipulates that a cat must behave like a cat? As long as you like it and don't interfere with other people, it's no big deal. The owner likes the current ball and hopes that he can keep his heart and be a happy kitten.
