Question

Is it normal for your dog to meow like a cat? (My long hair chihuahua, when excited meows like a cat.)

Answer 1

Well do you think it is normal

Answer 2

I think it is If your dog has a strong prey drive (the inclination to seek out, chase and potentially capture animals seen as prey — usually smaller animals such as cats or rabbits), she might become very focused on the cat. She'll stiffen, stare, and may start barking or whining. If you see these signs, do not let her near the cat.

Answer 3

I don't think its normal,maybe it is? Ask a vet the next time u go?

Answer 4

pretty sure it's not normal, but it's cool and doesn't harm the dog, you're all good amigo:)

Answer 5

The problem is- I do have a cat, but my cat's at my dads house. My dog has never came across any type of feline.

Answer 11

yeahhh, maybe I should get that checked out.

Answer 12

I think it's not that serious, but if you're worried about the safety of your doggo, go get it checked out~

Answer 13

your dog might have just learned to imitate something they've seen

Answer 14

I'm not worried but it caught me off guard to have my dog meow in my face after a few years.

Nope, he's never done it before.

Answer 17

Go to the vet. k bye.

Answer 18

Animals are weirdos sometimes. I wouldn't say it's something to explicitly worry about lest it continues and seems to be having effects upon said animal.

Answer 19

Chihuahuas basically do that, given it's just one of their growls when they're conflicted with something or someone nearby.
