Our cat, Turtle, thinks that she is a dog

We have a cat that we rescued. Her mother abandoned her and 2 of her siblings when they were kittens, and we kept her. She is a tortoise-shell, so she got named "Turtle."  At the time, we only had 1 other animal - a very accommodating corgi, who apparently considers Turtle his baby.  The cat is the only other non-human animal allowed near his food dish when there is food in it - and she's allowed to eat from it too!

Now, with a corgi for a surrogate parent, our cat has some weird issues. For instance, she plays fetch. She also enjoys eating vegetables.  Now that the green beans are coming in, she apparently feels the need  sample the fresh ones.

The other evening, I caught her doing her sneaky-stealth-walk in the kitchen, onto a kitchen chair, and then to the table where there was a bag of recently picked green beans.  She grabbed one, looked around to see if anyone was watching, and dragged it to the floor to enjoy her spoils! 


 She ate about half of it, and then decided that it would make a better toy.
