LOL Cotton has YOU trained... Swat the ball - treat Fetch - treat Sit - treat

>>>That sounded like a DelWare pun, so I thought I’d say it first!<<<

GG is going to have to try harder to keep being first!

Really, that is quite a list of achievements for a cat... OK, so I tend to be a dog person - but our house cat doesn’t know that - YET! (please don’t tell her.)

No doubt. One of the cat training books I've found says exactly that - the way to train a cat is to think of it as letting them figure out what to do to MAKE you give them treats. Once I got in that frame of mind, it worked well. And she does exactly that - if she doesn't understand what I want (this happens frequently with 'speak' for some reason), she will go through her repertoire of begging and touching things around her with both right and left paw, waiting to see if THAT was the right thing.

Cats are just a tiny bit self-centered, so I'm sure your cat hasn't caught on that they're not your favorite! With a dog that talks as competition, I don't know if any cat can beat that.
