Re: Help please


Elaine! Inspiration!

I know it's not everything but I think one more difference is size. Think of it, in proportion to the rest of the body.... Mr cat it's just like a toe size, Mr dog - whole foot!
So, proportionately, the dog is much much bigger.

Hope that's what your tutor was looking for.

Re: Help please


I did a Google on this, with "cat" and dog"; and most of what came up was either too technical or about other species ( a porcupine!), with only glancing references to cats/dogs...sorry, Elaine; I tried! And now know more than I really wanted to...

Re: Help please


Eileen, thats what kept coming up when i was trying to find stuff too.
Hilary, I did think of that one but thought I was being too obvious, will add it anyway coz it might be that the tutor is looking at it from all angles.
Thankyou all anyway.

Re: Help please


What about a dogs bulbus glandis? I don't think a cat has one but I know little about cat reproduction if I'm honest.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but looking from a breeding programme point of view. A cat is very difficult to evaluate semen quality, but you can take semen easily from a dog & evaluate it, therefore know exactly the quality of your dogs sperm. You can't very easily get a sample from a cat to evaluate.

Artificial insemination also is easy with a dog, but not with a cat.... but that's more to do with the cats reproductive cycle... come back to use when you need the female stuff.
