O & C - party tricks
Hi the
Had a friend of mine over for wine, cheese, black olive tapinade, and slow roasted tomatoes - and, unabashedly, used the cats to do party tricks. My friend is both a cat slave and a dog owner. She was amazed when the boys answered to their name and their name only. She was also floored when they sat for treats when I said "sit". I thought - isn't that what cats cats who love their moms do? Has anyone else "taught" their cats to sit? Of course, it took three months to teach them... Susan M Otis and Chester |

When I have visitors, Frank usually pointedly turns his back and settles down to sleep for the duration of the visit. Nikki might come and take a sniff at the visitors, but then she, too, retires somewhere to sleep. They both know their names very well, but don't always answer or come when they're called. Depends on whether they're hungry or they just find a nice spot to sleep in. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi |

... Otis "sits" for treats? Yeah. They both do. You have to have a treat in your hand though or they won't do it. You say "sit", hold the treat near-ish to their nose, then lift it up a bit until they sit. Rinse, lather, repeat 20 X a day for months and months and months until they get it. I gave up on the "lie down" after about three months. Susan M Otis and Chester |
