      My cat is now eating his medicine out of my hand, because he knows he will get a treat afterwards. You just need to have something they really crave.

      I taught mine to turn off the lights. They instinctly paw at anything above their head, just reward that and you have a saluting cat

      The propaganda machine was pretty strong back then. I’m guessing this involved a staple gun or taxidermy and didn’t take long.

    Kind of weird to look at a picture like this and realize that cat is probably dead now

        Cat lifespan is 13-17 years aside from a few outliers. Cats have 9 lives. That means a careful cat can live 117-153 years.
