“Is a cat going to jump into cold water an retrieve a duck for me?”

See, to the cat, you’re asking the wrong question. It wants to know if YOU will jump into cold water to get IT a duck.

This may be considered cheating, as Jack Russell Terrier are not dogs, but rather are tiny people in fur coats.

I live in a wood framed, wall to wall carpeted apt, with a $500 fee for owning a pet.

The first time a cat demonstrates, “Mine!” (and you KNOW what I mean), would be the last time, since the ‘aroma’ will never get out of the wood.

I like cats - owned a couple, including a seal point Siamese, along with my three Dobermans.

Now, can’t do it.
