I would like to see you herd cats with a can of salmon- lead them- oh yea anywhere but herd them? I can imagine if you were behind a herd of cats with salmon pretty soon you wouldn’t be able to move for all the circling cats. Laughing just thinking about that. Now my toddler grandaughter can herd cats with the best of them, she toddles into a room with cats and they head ‘em up move ‘em out real fast.
Who cares if you herd from behind or in the middle as long as you keep them together and get them safely to where they need to be?
