Cat Thinks He's a Dog says Complete Idiot
San Diego, CA - Sandy Thompson was shocked the first time she saw her 9 month old cat, "Mr. Perkins," pawing at the window, obviously wanting go outside for a walk, but now she just sees it as normal, everyday behavior for a cat who thinks he's a dog.
"My cat, Mr. Perkins, totally thinks he's a dog," Thompson says to no one in particular. "He acts just like a dog in so many ways-- it's just unbelievable! I've even sent videotapes to Jay Leno because Mr. Perkins is probably the smartest, funniest cat in the whole world and he should be recognized by the public."
Despite repeated sighs from her husband Mitch, who can't stand the cat and insists Mr. Perkins bears no similarity to a dog in any way, goes along with his wife's rantings just to avoid arguments.
"My wife has gone off the deep end," Thompson says. "That cat is nothing like a dog. That is, unless you include drinking toilet water or the ability to tongue-bathe the barren area which once proudly held its testicles."
Sandy, however, is adamant. "Omigod, last week, I put out food for our dog and guess who was the first one to run over to the dog bowl?" Thompson again queried to no one in particular. "That's right, it was Mr. Perkins, who is not a dog but a cat! Right, Mr. Perkins? You did that, didn't you? That's right, it was you, my little adorable cat who thinks he's a dog."
"Not only is [Mr. Perkins] not anything like a dog, but it's not even as smart as an average cat," husband Mitch said while his wife searched the house for a rawhide chew toy. "Yesterday, he spent four hours trying to mate with my five iron. Then, this morning he jumped right out into oncoming traffic. Actually, I didn't mind that part."
Thompson says that if his wife makes one more comment about the cat acting like a dog, he's divorcing her --but not before taking Mr. Perkins out for a game of fetch in a beautiful open field, which coincidentally, sits right next to the interstate highway.
"What's that? What are you trying to tell me, Mr. Perkins? It's so cute, Mr. Perkins sounds like he's trying to bark like a dog! —Mitch, can you take Mr. Perkins outside. I think he wants to play frisbee."
Mr. Perkins has been missing since early Monday. A $5000 reward has been offered for his safe return.
