The first year after we got married we got a Cairn terrier.
The 2nd year after we got married I found a kitten in the yard. Very small. I raised it with the Cairn and trained it like a dog. It would come when called, sit, stay, speak, shake hands, lie down, roll over, etc. It would walk on a leash and enjoyed car rides. The cat and dog would sit next to each other and beg from the table. However, the cat was huge compared to the dog. It could stand up with its front paws on the dinner table, and look at your dinner plate. If it saw something it liked, it could reach over and grab the food off of your plate if you weren't paying attention. I honestly think the dog and cat were in cahoots, as the dog would bark to distract you, the cat would grab some food from your other side, then the dog would run over and they'd both gobble it down.
It was fun walking into the veterinarian office with a dog on one leash and a cat on the other. The dogs in the waiting room would go nuts and the cat would jump up on a chair and look around like "what's up dudes, where's the cat?"
He lived 17 years and was a diabetic the last 2 years. I gave him insulin injections twice a day. He didn't care. Great cat and dog. Miss them both.
