Last night I was listening on the internet, to a Veterinarian call in / Talk   
   show. I found this rather interesting. They started talking about, and anyone   
   may not find this as interesting as I did, but anyway. They have through long   
   work, testing and study and breeding, come up with a new breed of cat. What   
   makes this cat different, is, it is a Cat. But it has the social tendencies of   
   a dog. Many people like dogs over cats, as they are pack animals and love to   
   be with people all the time and are much more social than cats are for the   
   most part. They said this new breed looks like a cat, but has the social   
   demeanor of a dog. I found that odd but interesting. I never grouped the two   
   together, nor do I think we have to. Each animal having it's own pros and   
   cons. Yet I have heard that many people do not like cats as they do tend to be   
   loners, and only want to be close when it suits them, where as a dog wants to   
   be around humans all the time. They claim the new breed is fascinating. I can   
   see how they can breed in certain traits, but how do You make a more social   
   cat through genetics is pretty odd, but interesting.   
        
   Have a good One!
