A tale about a cat that barked like a dog — Once upon a time, there was a cat named Dog. Dog knew how to bark. When he was the only kitten in a household with nine dogs, all Dog heard was barking. So instead of doing cat things, he did dog things. Dog wanted to fit in with the dogs so much that he learned how to bark. At first, the discovery scared people. There were not any cats in this world that knew how to bark except Dog. Dog occasionally makes cat noises, but outside of that, he sounds like a Doberman.
