To Teach a Cat


I'm trying to train my brother's cat (Thor) to sit still, let me put a kitty treat on the tip of his nose, then wait until I say go to (try) to catch it when he tosses it. I tried it for the first time today. He's a smart cat, already listens when I say 'wait', almost caught the treat too.

I've always heard people say it's near impossible to train a cat to do tricks. All you need is patience and kitty treats. And a smart cat. My cat, the black one in the picture, shakes paws...if a treat is handy. They both will also stand on their hind legs and beg. If a treat is handy.

Ah, animals are smarter than we give them credit.
