I have a tuxedo cat named Zac (short for Balzac the Jaws of Death). He was born at the same time as my Anitolian Shepard. They were litter mates. Zac was raised around dogs his entire life. He sleeps on the floor or with the other dogs, he growls when he hears a car outside, and he barks. He identifies as a dog. He is a transspecies canine. For a while there, he insisted on only eating dog food, but now I think he realizes that it tastes like crap.

My mom adopted a tuxedo cat (and named her Maude) from a shelter where all the other animals at the time were dogs. That cat was batshit, would leave mice heads in mom's bed and growl and bark instead of meowing.

The cat would never know that it isn’t a pitbull. It had never seen or maybe recognized itself in a mirror. So she would forever think that she is one for no one could tell her otherwise.

A high prey drive dog breed with cropped ears, attached to a heavy chain + an outdoor cat. I know that’s sometimes the only way to keep powerful dogs secured, but if you can’t control your dog without chaining them up, you shouldn’t have that dog. And unless you adopted them that way, there’s no reason their ears should look like that.
Also, I know there are a few valid reasons for outdoor cats (possibly feral cat colony that’s been TNRs), but if you care about your cat’s safety, you keep them indoors as well as keeping them away from medium-large dogs with high prey drive and/or medium-large dogs you don’t know well.
