YOu taught a cat to do tricks? I've had many, many cats since childhood and have never been able to get any of them to do anything but what THEY wanted, WHEN they wanted, and HOW they wanted.
Cats definitely have personalities, tho! Our latest adopted one is fascinated with all of our other animals. He climbs in the guinea pig cage when I leave the door open to feed the GP. One GP is in an open cage, and Lucky (the cat) sits on top of the GP's teepee like shelter and bats at the GP when she tries to get out. She tries to get in with the baby ducks. She sits on the lid of the fish tank and sticks her little paws thru any little space. She is a sweetie!

Miss Eva here. I haven't been online much the past few days, decided to visit my favorite FReeper place, the daily dose, and happened across your cat comments.
Back in the early 70s, two of my sisters had for some reason taken the screen off their bedroom window. They had pet hamsters in their bedroom. I decided it was stuffy so had gone around opening windows, leaving them open for a long time. Apparently, the neighbor's cat came in their window, pulled the top of the hamster cage, took the poor little hamsters, who were never to be seen again. At least that's what they surmised when the hamsters turned up missing, fingers pointing directly at me as the party responsible. Tragic! Tragic to kids anyway.
I will never live that down; they STILL like to tell about the time I allowed the neighbor's cat in w/ the resulting loss of hamster life.
So, anyHOO, seeing your post on your sweet kitty that's so interested in your other pets reminded me of the not-so-nice cat that came in the open window.

LOL. Your cat sounds as naughty as our youngest one, who gives the older two cats no peace!
