Dachshund. "Der Dachs" is a badger, and "Das Hund" is the dog. A Dachshund was bread to hunt badgers.
Here, they call them "Dackel", not Dachshund.
You really shouldn't "abuse" you cats, though. Cats always have a way of getting back at you (like "massaging" your stomach when you are laying on the couch, then, when you are just starting to enjoy it, they pull out their claws...
I used to have 3 cats, but one had to be put down due to a heart problem, and my ex-wife took the other two with her when she left. I do miss having them (the cats) around sometimes.
