San Diego, CA - Sandy Thompson was shocked the first
time she saw her 9 month old cat, "Mr. Perkins,"
pawing at the window, obviously wanting go outside for a walk,
but now she just sees it as normal, everyday behavior for
a cat who thinks he's a dog.
"My cat, Mr. Perkins, totally thinks he's a dog,"
Thompson says to no one in particular. "He acts just
like a dog in so many ways-- it's just unbelievable! I've
even sent videotapes to Jay Leno because Mr. Perkins is probably
the smartest, funniest cat in the whole world and he should
be recognized by the public."
Despite repeated sighs from her husband Mitch, who can't
stand the cat and insists Mr. Perkins bears no similarity
to a dog in any way, goes along with his wife's rantings just
to avoid arguments.
"My wife has gone off the deep end," Thompson says.
"That cat is nothing like a dog. That is, unless you
include drinking toilet water or the ability to tongue-bathe
the barren area which once proudly held its testicles."
Sandy, however, is adamant. "Omigod, last week, I put
out food for our dog and guess who was the first one to run
over to the dog bowl?" Thompson again queried to no one
in particular. "That's right, it was Mr. Perkins, who
is not a dog but a cat! Right, Mr. Perkins? You did that,
didn't you? That's right, it was you, my little adorable cat
who thinks he's a dog."
"Not only is [Mr. Perkins] not anything like a dog,
but it's not even as smart as an average cat," husband
Mitch said while his wife searched the house for a rawhide
chew toy. "Yesterday, he spent four hours trying to mate
with my five iron. Then, this morning he jumped right out
into oncoming traffic. Actually, I didn't mind that part."
Thompson says that if his wife makes one
more comment about the cat acting like a dog, he's divorcing
her --but not before taking Mr. Perkins out for a game of
fetch in a beautiful open field, which coincidentally, sits
right next to the interstate highway.
"What's that? What are you trying to
tell me, Mr. Perkins? It's so cute, Mr. Perkins sounds like
he's trying to bark like a dog! —Mitch,
can you take Mr. Perkins outside. I think he wants to play
frisbee."
Mr. Perkins has been missing since early Monday.
A $5000 reward has been offered for his safe return.
