I used to think that white dog poo was left by white dogs.

I used to believe that all cats were female (probably confused with "feline") and all dogs were male.

I used to believe that all cats were girls and all dogs were boys.

I overheard my grandfather ask, "Who owns the media in New Zealand?" but I thought he was saying, "Amelia". Amelia is his cat, and we live in New Zealand, so I was like, "You do!".

My best friend a really cute dog. And when we first met the dog was with her and she said her god could talk. She would always lean real close to hear what he was saying but the dog never talked to me. Finally when i was about 15 years old she told me over a bowl of ice-cream that the dog couldn't talk. I was flabergasted!

When I was little, I used to think that cats could understand humans if we spoke to them in their native language: Italian. This was because we had on display an heirloom that was an Italian proverb plaque with a picture of a cat on it. I didn't know what it said, but I would still read it to my cat over and over and felt proud that he could finally understand me. What did it actually say? "When the cat's away, the mice will play."

I used to think that dingoes were marsupials because they come from Australia.

I used to believe that cat tails were at least 15 inches long and that normal cats with short tail were weird.

When I was younger, between 8 and 10 years old, I beleived that fixing a dog was when you put a rubber band around the base of their "pee wee" and let it fall off. I just couldn't figure out how they peed afterwards.

When I was little, I thought the cat got swallowed up by the space under my parents' headboard. (She came out after I went to bed and was eaten by a coyote.)

This isn’t really my own belief per se, but something I recall from my childhood that was believed to be useful. When I was little, I noticed my mum had taken an empty carbonated drink bottle (unlabelled), filled it with at least 3/4 water & laid it down sideways on the soil of the flowerbed in our garden. I asked why she did that & she told me it was supposed to scare cats away, so they wouldn’t pee/poop in our garden (or at least that part of the garden). Apparently they’d see their reflection in the water & get spooked away? I don’t know, it sounded pretty dumb to me, but I never actually saw a cat react to it, so I still don’t know if it worked or not, LOL. My mum certainly believed in it, though & I think one of my aunts tried the same trick, so it must’ve been a thing back then (this would’ve been in the 1990’s). Sounds kinda silly, doesn’t it? 🤣

When I was about like 3 years old we had a small kitten named cat and because of all the cartoons my sister and I watched I used to believe all animals could fly. So one day I climbed up on top of a dresser and dropped the kitten out of the bedroom window saying," fly kitty" and all she did was fall 3 floors down to the alley an bounce...which scared the heck out of my mom.

When I was young I used to believe that all cats with any orange coloring on their bodies were female

I was about two or three, but I vaguely remember we had a yard full of cats. I remember walking among them and wondering where all these things were coming from. I thought they dropped out of sky one by one.
