They are the only dogs that i have ever seen 'try' to curl up into a ball and sit on your lap, no matter what chair you are on, so YES i think they are definately large cats, but with a better personaility
They actually WANT to please you whereas a cat wants YOU to please it. Dont get me wrong, i love cats, my first cat died at the age of 20 (i got him what i was 6 years old and he was just a tiny little kitten), i have never had another cat, he was the 1 in a million cat - RIP Mr Tibbs, til we meet again someday, i will have those green beans you loved so much waiting for you!!!!
