Cats and dogs are the same species

I used to believe that all cats were female and all dogs were male, and when they mated, the male babies were dogs, and the female babies were cats.

When I was little I used to belive that cats were female and dogs were male and that they would marry. When my teacher told me otherwise it was a huge surprise.

I used to believe that all dogs were male and all cats were female. Until I saw a litter of puppies being born (males didn't have puppies!!).

I see someone anonomously has already put my belief up, the one about cats being female and dogs being male but I also didn't know the truth until I was about 9 yrs. old when my mom told us about the birds and bees. Then I got the idea how things actually work. I am glad to see I am not the only kid who thought that.

I used to believe that all cats were girls, and all dogs were boys. The two would get together and make girl cat babies and boy dog babies. I have no idea where this came from other than I thought cats were more feminine and dogs were more masculine.

When I was a little girl I thought all dogs were girls and all cats were boys. I also thought the little pieces of poop that get stuck by a cats tush would hurt them so I tried to pick them off my not so happy cat.

I'm not sure how or why I came to believe this, but when I was young I was convinced that all cats were female and all dogs were male. Imagine my surprise when my grandfather's dog had puppies! I guess I figured that cats and dogs mated together, and the cats were the ones to birth both kittens and puppies!

My husband believed that cats and dogs got married and their boy children were puppies and the girl children were kittens.

until i was about 10 years old, i believed that all dogs were male and all cats were female. when a dog and a cat got married they would have little girl kittens and boy puppies.

i used to believe that all cats were female and all dogs were male. i thought they would mate and have a mixed litter of cats and dogs. i wasn't aware they weren't even the same animal.

I used to think all dogs were boys, and all cats were girls.........that was until my dog had puppies!!!!

Phinna

When I was young I thought that all cats were female and all dogs were male. Cats and dogs would reproduce and the offspring were either cats or dogs, depending on the gender.

I also thought that only cats were female and only dogs were male. I guess its because cats at so feminine and loving, but dogs are boisterous etc. Plus, it doesn't help a childs imagination when you only have female cats and male dogs. Its great to here I wasn't the only one!
