I use a water-squirter to teach mine not to claw the furniture.

OH! I'm sure a squirter is VERY effective!

Perhaps the cat was imitating the French Surrender Kitty.
Allegra remembers this picture.

Hello again w over w...

Your cat looks a lot like my Winnie. As a matter of fact, my brother saw the pic you had a couple of weeks ago with him/her (?) hanging on the handrail and asked me where I took that picture. Even this picture reminds me of the way she reacts when I squirt her with the "discipline gun." My other two run in fear but she will stand on her hind legs and bat at it.

She is the smartest cat I've ever had. She is the only cat I've ever had that learned tricks. She plays fetch with toy mice, bringing them back every time and dropping them on my feet. When I stop, she will sit for several minutes pawing at my legs, mewing at me, wanting me to throw it again. She also is amazingly quick and agile. I am 6'3" and I can hold a toy mouse in front of my face and she will jump from the floor to take it out of my hand. I've heard that cheetahs can run so fast because they have a long spine that acts as a spring. This is the way she is built so I'm guessing the same effect applies.

Just wondering if yours shows any extraordinary talents (other than handrail gymnastics - LOL) since they are so similar in appearance.
