It has been an interesting experience with Truffle - a 20 pound pug/boxer rescue. She has been living with us for about a year and it took the longest time for her to realize that she was, in fact, NOT Alpha of this pack. Bear (an 80 pound and very mellow German Shepherd) was amused. I needed to get some training done so it was a bit of a battle for the first few months.
Never thought about it with cats - they would have the same initial assessment of their status and it would come as a shock that they were not revered as the gods they are.
