| Is my Yorkie turning into a cat? Ok, Chase has been doing this bizzare thing. During walks and playtime at the dog park, he's been rubbing himself against people's legs, walls, poles, etc. like a cat! The behavior started a couple of weeks ago. Anyone else experience this? What's up with him ? Do you think I should stop him? He also loves perching on top of the couch these days as well. LOL!

| Couver's favorite spot is at the back of the couch with the cats. He also enjoys climbing the cat tree! But I guess that all he has are kitty brothers, so he doesn't know any better

I personal am very blessed to own not 1 but 2 Begorkies. Half Beaver Half Goat Half Yorkie. You got lucky, I bet a Carokie isn't near as destructive as a Begorkie. Please keep us posted on his development. And post some pictures, would love to see him.

| We have the same thing going on at our house!! Grace constantly is rubbing up against furniture and stretches just like a cat. We have discussed getting a cat tree for her because she would LOVE IT and she is our only animal. |

| Separated at Birth? OMG! My puppy does the same thing! When I come home from work he rubs his head on my legs like a freakin' cat and he stretches like one too. He's a whacky catdog! |

| I've wondered if Suzi had some cat in her too! She also lays on top of the sofa, rubs against the sofa, and love to lay right on top of my chest. I'll wake up in the morning and the firswt thing I'll see is Suzi looking right at me . My kitty always use to do this too. humm? Suzi can also "pounce" very well on her toys. LOL.

| My sister has always said that Baxter is really a cat. He never comes when he is called and he's able to leap small objects in a single bound. This dog can jump so high that I never leave food on the counter b/c I'm scared he will try to jump on it and succeed. He hasn't done the leg rubbing .... yet! |

| Diva's been cat-like since birth. She loves to sit upon a perch, she rubs against people and things, and she LOVES her cat cubbie. I bought it because she likes to climb in and out of things. She turns it on its side and pops in and out of it like a jill-in-the-box. She stores her chewies in it. Total cat...and I am so not a cat person. |
