Ha ha haaa , oh my, that is ADORABLE !!!!
I had the opposite situation happening - I had a black cat that thought that she was a dog !!!!
She played fetch with me, would run to the door when somebody would come and growl at strangers . She also would know exactly the time when we were coming back from the school and would come to the gate and wait in front of it for us to come. She LOVED chocolate

- I had to hide well anything with chocolate as an ingredient and also liked to play with the vacuum-cleaner like dogs do

!
Maybe Buddhists are right after all : )))) !!!!!
