Evidently you have never owned a cat....
My white cat, Wyck, is so obedient. I say HEEL! and he stops in his tracks so I can put his leash on him. I say Get Down and he stops doing whatever he is doing. I think he is the reincarnation of Kirby, our deceased white cat.
Our cat, Stinky, will be 18 in May. She is so precious and loving, and such a lap cat.
