Cats are indeed very trainable..

Let me tell you about Sis (tiger/spotted grey cat) and her kitty game...

Once in a while she darts out the front door and hides under the stairs... That is her part... The human's part is to plead with her and try to catch her as she either goes inbetween the stairs (if you come around the back to get her) or to run around the stairs (if you reach in to get her).. and dart up to the second landing...

It's great fun for her and she will play forever if you let her... If you just leave her out there, she will come sit by the door (most of the time) until you open it and then she will dart back under the stairs..

Good Times..

Until I moved in...

How I play the kitty game...

Open door, hands full of laundry basket.. (this is the ONLY time she will try and play kitty games with me) Sis darts out, and hids under the stairs...

I say.. Sis... Get back in the house....

I go about taking the laundry into the laundry room.. ignoring said cat..

When I am done, I walk into the apt, close the door, get my squirt bottle, open the door and Look at her...

Sis comes in the apt.... With a look on her face like.. *Ah, Man.. you NEVER let me have any fun*

I've actually never squirted her.. The first time she met my bottle.. I squirted the wall.. She high tailed it into the apt like the hounds of hell were after her.. The second time, I squirted between the stairs.. between her and the wall... Same thing...

Now.. I just show it too her and the game is over...

Now we have moved on to keeping her OFF the prep table... SOMEONE started feeding her up there when me and my two cats moved in... Now she thinks it's her spot.... It's not.. It has food on it, therefore it is not a place for cats..

My sweet butch up there would let her babies do anything that made them happy... lol.. I'm not so nice...
