I have trained a couple of my cats to do a trick. I did it on a dare. Jazz said, "You can't train a cat to do a trick," I said I bet I can.
I sat down with one of his cats - the one who really loved kitty treats, Spider- and a can of her favorites. After about 15 minutes, I got her to stand on her hind legs and eat the treat from my finger. By the next evening, she was doing it just for my finger.
Then Sassy decided that wasn't fair and she wasn't getting any, so she stood up and begged too. And I've already got Tom doing it too. It's definitely a matter of monkey see- monkey do... and they have me trained.

Oh. My. God.
This is inhumane, I think. I hate seeing animals trained to the hilt. It bugs the crap out of me.
