Next up ... Cat branding, Cat herding, Cat stampedes, Cat rustling, and Cat steaks. See what you've started, Kid? I do have to say that I'm darned impressed with the ability of these ladies to train their pu .. er, kitties. Thanks for the video, Kid.
My pleasure Mustang, and the ladies weren't hard to look at either. Well, I tried cat herding as a project manager at a software company. Can't be done. Even with half cat, half programmer.
Years ago when my hubby declared doggies smarter than kittehs just before leaving for an evening job, I rounded up my Russian Blue. Within about 10 minutes I had him fetching better than any doggie. It took another 5 or so minutes to teach him to not only fetch the "ball" (a smushed up piece of foil), but drop it in my outstretched hand. Next I taught him to sit up and catch the "ball" Hubby was never able to make that claim again.
It's never a good idea to get on the wrong side of a cat LSP. They're like Kung Fu Ninjas when they want to be. You CAN rub their fur the wrong way though. I do that all the time.
Either these are Mensa cats or THE hungriest cats in the whole wide world and your fingers are covered in pureed steak!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding!
DeleteZ, there was a trained cat act at Circus-Circus Las Vegas 25-30 yrs ago. Unbelievable.
DeleteCat videos? Say it ain't so. What happened to the fire and brimstone Kid I knew from way back when (back when you declared my site 'gone dark')?
ReplyDeleteFredd, I'll put some fire and brimstone on the list for future posts.

Adrienne, dogs are very trainable, but yes, once you have a playful cat paying attention, they love to perform.
DeleteWOWZER!
ReplyDeleteNone of my kitties will do any of these tricks!
AOW, there are some vids on youtube on how to train a cat to do various things.
DeleteCats. My Heeler always thinks he can attack cats and he always regrets it, he also thinks he can catch bullets at the range, mistakenly.
