Catdog

Special Features

The Catdog is a rare animal that is exactly half cat and half dog, with features mixed together in surprising ways. It has the pointed ears and whiskers of a cat, but the floppy tail and big paws of a dog. Its body is covered in lots of fluffy fur that is light pink in color, making it impossible to miss. The Catdog can purr when it is calm, wag its tail when it is excited, and chase things for absolutely no clear reason at all.

The Catdog was discovered by a 7-year-old girl named Kate during a visit to a quiet park. Kate noticed something strange hiding under a bench. At first, she thought it was a dog because it was wagging its tail. Then it jumped onto the bench like a cat and started licking its paw. When Kate offered it a cracker, it sniffed it like a dog, ignored it like a cat, and then sat down directly on her foot.

Kate told the adults nearby that she had found “a cat that thinks it’s a dog,” which later turned into “a dog that thinks it’s a cat.” When animal experts arrived, they realized Kate had actually discovered an entirely new animal—the first known Catdog.

Habitat

The only known Catdog now lives safely at the zoo, where it has a special habitat designed just for it. The enclosure includes soft climbing platforms, cozy nap spots, open space for running, and plenty of toys. Visitors often see the Catdog sleeping in the sun one minute and sprinting in circles the next.

What It Eats

Catdogs eat a mix of fish and dog food, which seems to work perfectly for them. They enjoy fish as a snack and dog food for meals, though they are known to sniff everything carefully before eating it. Zookeepers say feeding time takes longer than usual because the Catdog sometimes gets distracted halfway through.

How It Moves

The Catdog moves in a very mixed-up way. It can walk and run like a dog, but it also leaps, stretches, and balances like a cat. When it gets excited, it zooms around its enclosure, then suddenly stops to clean itself. Watching it move often leaves people wondering which half is in charge.
