I've got 3 cats. I know better than that!
LOL. They have one eye open at all times....don’t let them fool you.
sorry, but it is just a joke, no sick man here, nor am I hyper-sensitive...
My old Siamese was expert at this, would leap vertically a good 4' to snag stuff. Crazy cat (we named him Loco) did not care about reentry, often crashed and burned coming back down.
The young Siamese we have now does not seem to think in 3 dimensions, might be due to his crossed eyes (very Siamese). He is improving though, knows I will often throw his mice over his head. He might start snagging them before long.
It’s called an invisible fence system. It works. They can roam the whole yard, climb trees, etc, andywhere within the perimeter of the cable around the yard.
You can train a cat. For example you can train a cat to become an indoor cat again. If you are a pushover to your animals, they will train you to behave the way they want you to. If he cries and you finally let him out, he’s trained you to let him out if he cries long enough. You stick him in a cage in the basement when he starts crying, and eventually the cat realizes crying will not get him what he wants, and he stops crying. He may try something else, but he learns crying will not get him outside.
Would you do that to a dog?? Keep it inside against it’s will? It will get fat and depressed.
Try telling my dog he’s not one of my boys.
People overfeed their pets anyways, but that’s not the point. I can’t tell you how many people come in to my vet with overweight animals.
And I could probably train a dog a lot quicker than a cat. Dogs being pack animals, and if they understand their place in the pack, you being the alpha dog, will be able to train him and correct unwanted behavior.
Now Joe, you can train a cat:

Ok, it’s not a Sch 3 routine, but hey.
