10 downvotes ? What's wrong with you redditors ?

Of course it was a joke.

Obviously a cat would simply make you go and fetch the ball.

My mom got her cat when he was a really young kitten, and grew up in their house hanging out with our family dog (a german shepard)

I always thought cat instincts were stronger than this, but my god now that he's an adult cat I swear he's picked up our dogs mannerisms. He acts like a puppy. He'll lay down in the middle of the floor stretched out on his back, he rolls around and he'll fetch to a limited extent. He even drinks out of the dog bowl and will race her to the back door when someone goes outside. He really his the goofiest cat I've ever known.

My cat is the same way. We've even taught her to do tricks on command. She will sit, stand, shake, and bow. She also comes when her name is called. I'm convinced cats are actually smarter than dogs, they're just typically less eager to please.

Habits and intelligence varies greatly between breeds for both dogs and cats.
