i recall some reaearch somewhere that said cats COULD be trained just like dogs i.e. they are just as clever, can understand etc... they just dont give a shit 😂

I can confirm that I accidentally trained my cat, along with the new puppy, to sit down at the back door before coming in. She'll also "give paw" before food, and she'll go and sit smugly on the dog's special agility "sit" board, though I think that's more because it annoys the dog.

Urgh, tell me about it.
My dog ignores me all the time unless I start a sentence with 'is it time for...'
She wouldn't make a cup of tea even if she had thumbs. Although, if she had thumbs, she'd be straight in the food caddy. Darn animal. Living rent free!

Mine fully understands the process of making tea, he watches me do it often enough. What he can't understand is why we would disturb good bed lounging and sleeping time to do so. He judges us so often and so hard.

This one earns it keep. She’s chases off the birds trying to eat our crops.

It's a great pompom though. Maisie has a sort of feather duster.
