can a modified dog work to pose a cat?

(this isnt a test of my skill this is a question)

dogs and cats have fairly similar anatmoy, however there are also many differences, assuming one knew what looked wrong vs right, could a dog be used to help drawing a cat

i ask this because i prefer to draw larger cats, stuff like maine coons but well i dont have a cat, usualy i solve that bu using real life references but i do have a dog so i wonder if a correctly modified dog could work in a way for the warrior cats style or if it would flop harder than said dogs ears.
