Yep, I've been told that native Americans used their dogs as

My SIamese, Ginger, would play in the toilet and the kids wading pool

in the bathrub with a person...quite disconcerting if you weren't used
to sharing your bath with a cat.

Yes. The strange thing is that there thousands of references calling the
cat Felix Domesticus -even in a review in Nature. Could it be that the
cat is evolving into a happier creature?
