| My new neighbor thought Kalina was... ...a CAT!! I was outside talking to another neighbor and holding Kalina. My new neighbor walked up to me and said "Oh my, what a cute little cat. It IS a cat isn't it?" Where did that come from? I can't see a Yorkie looking anything like a cat. The neighbor I was talking to had hysterics laughing to the point where it was almost rude to the new neighbor. Did anyone ever mistake your Yorkie for a cat? She was once called a Bichon, but now a CAT???

| I've heard people call yorkies cats as if they aren't real dogs because they're small. But I've never heard of someone honestly thinking a yorkie was a cat up close...maybe far away, but not up close. A cat and a dog just look completely different no matter the breed, size, or color. What did the neighbor say when you told them she was a dog? I bet they felt stupid...

| Several people have thought that Lily was a Guinea Pig. I was with her at petsmart one time when a guy walked past me and made a comment to his gf about the cute little dog. His gf looked over and said "Idiot, that's a guinea pig" and then rolled her eyes at how stupid he was. She has also been mistaken for a gerbil and a kitten. I think some people need glasses
