Me: Why can't the cat come inside. It's cold out.
Mum: It's ok, she's got a fur coat on.
Me: Uh uh. Where's the zipper?!?

My father used to bathe our dog in the bathtub. When it was time for me to take a bath, he would tell me not to stay in the tub too long because I might get pregnant with puppies. Yep, as a child I believed him.

When I was 5 I thought the dogs and cats we saw around the neighbourhood weren't grown up, and that adults dogs and cats stood as tall as adult humans.

I used to think that my dog had a camera hidden on top of his head, so his previous owners were always watching us.

I used to believe that, while we were potty-training our dog, he was able to read the newspaper we always put him on to train to pee on that and not the house, since he always used to look down, and, sometimes I even asked him what the news was. Let's just say he looked at me, and then at the floor, and I took it to mean that the news that day wasn't very good. I was only 7.

I used to believe that after cats had been spayed, they weren't sewn up, they were stapled instead, and if you made them sneeze they would pop. I wasn't a psycho kid either, surprisingly.

When I was a child I asked my mom how did female cats get pregnant.She told me the male cat would bite the female cat on the back of her neck.Well I believed her til about 6 months ago(i'm 28 years old) when i was watching the discovery channel.

I used to think "Dachshund" was pronounced "Dashhound". I called them Dash Hounds until I was 12 or so.

For the longest time as a child you used to think if i tried hardenough, I could either talk to cats, or become one.

I used to believe that dogs in China had slanted eyes like Chinese people do.

I have had at two dogs my entire life. When I was between 4 and 6, I believed that dogs were just people in costumes, and that was why when you gave them a command they understood you. I believed this until my mom bought me a Shi-Tzu (really small dog) when I was 6.

when i was little i thought that dogs had puppies out of their teats, therefore the number of teats the dog had would determine how many puppies they would have

When I was a little girl I use to believe that animals were robots after seeing a commerical of a dog with a plastic leg.

When I was little I used to believe cats and dogs were the same species. Cats were females and dogs were males.

When I was 2 I was on a city bus with my mother. There was a seeing eye dog who came on with a blind person. I loved animals so this was very exciting for me. I then proceeded to ask my mother if that doggy had a "skin mommy" or a "fur mommy". She managed to keep a straight face while she explained to me that that doggy had a fur mommy, just like I had a skin mommy and that fur mommies give birth to fur babies while skin mommies give birth to skin babies. That cleared up any issues I had with the matter and I was satisfied.

We had this cat that would roam our neighborhood. I was told its name was "Stitches." For some reason I got it in my head that if you even touched Stitches, you would "get stitches." I don't think I even really knew what "stitches" were. I just knew they hurt. :-)

When on holiday in Greece, I was sitting in a taverna with my family watching 2 dogs opposite getting very frisky. I said loudly to my parents: "Look, that dog's giving the other one a piggyback". Of course, that wasn't what they were doing at all . . . ;)
