This Pit Bull Acts Like One of the Cats, and He's So Cute
We all know a dog that thinks they're a person, but have you ever met a pit bull that thinks they're a cat?
This little pit bull mix was raised around cats all their life. It stands within reason that they've picked up a few cat-like traits, but some of these are just too funny!

"Things my pitbull that was raised by cats does daily," the video caption reads as we see the little cutie hanging out on the couch in an adorable French fry outfit.

"Rubs on you for attention" is the first cat activity we watch, as the pup rubs back and forth against their mom's leg, just like a cat would. Of course, being a dog, they still wag their tail in delight when they get a big scratch.
The next cat-raised dog trait is "loaf 24/7," but even more than just loafing, the dog sits with their legs curled under their chest. We've seen cats do that a million times, but not usually dogs!
"Grooms himself like a cat" comes next, and just as the caption says, we watch this adorable pittie lick all along their paws for a midday bath. The dog even rubs the paw over their eyes afterward, exactly like a cat.
"Prefers tiny cat beds" follows, with a precious video clip of the pit bull sitting squarely on a too-small pet bed. The dog even sits in another bed covered in cartoon cat faces!
The second-to-last thing we learn is that this dog "grooms the other cats," and while we watch the pit bull lick their cat friend, we also see another dog in the room. We wonder if that dog has adopted as many cat traits as this adorable pit bull.

Can Dogs Really Learn Behaviors From Other Pets?
Just like humans, dogs have been known to pick up on the habits of the people and pets around them.
Social cues and mimicked behaviors are all parts of how we, as humans and our dogs, learn about the world around us. If your dog watches how other dogs-or cats-in the house interact with objects and each other, your dog may start to copy those actions.
This can happen not only with actions, but also with vocalizations. If one pet barks at mail people or guests, other animals might start reacting to visitors with loud squeals, squeaks or meows, too.
Pets are often found to copy each other's sleep schedules, play styles and eating habits as well.
Of course, this can work with both good and bad habits, so it's best to watch your dog and any other pets closely for positive and negative behaviors.
Then again, if all it means is that your dog cleans themselves and sleeps like a loaf, well, you've got one cute cat-dog on your hands!
