Massachusetts - Rip the Border Collie dog grew up with a cat, which is apparent in his behavior. The cute pooch took Instagram users by surprise with some of his uncommonly feline habits.

In a video, the four-legged friend can be seen bringing his owner several toys, just as a cat would do with its prey.

The pup is also seen "loafing" on the top of the sofa, just like a kitty might do!

"Rip will tell you he is part cat," the owner wrote under the clip.
