Dog who thinks he is a cat

We had a case of a duck who thinks he is a dog. Now we have a case of a dog who thinks he is a cat!

Meet Chippy, the dog who thinks he is a cat after living with cats all his life. Chippy is an old Jack Russell dog who has apparently been living with about 40 cats from a home and rescued recently, by a pet care charity.

Chippy can hardly bark, and sleeps with a female cat named Annie, who is very protective of him, and uses a cat litter tray.He also probably ate rats which the cats brought back from hunting (or hunted them himself).

“He came to us as part of a rescue from a multi-cat household in Cirencester.

“At first we were told he was 19, blind and deaf but that wasn’t the case.

“We couldn’t leave Chippy behind because he had lived with cats all his life. I suppose, having always lived among them he just doesn’t know any different. He never learned how to be a dog.” said Liz Dart, who is now fostering Chippy.

Vets believe Chippy to be aged between 13-15 years old, which is pretty old for a dog or cat. Now he is just a gentle, old dog who needs a good home – preferably with other fellow cats.

This is such an adorable story!
