Ira Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 i had seven cats growing up... cat, cat ,cat ,cat ,cat , cat , and cat.... whats the point naming an animal that doesnt come when you call it?? admittedly some cats come when called... more the exception than the norm though I find it's more the norm when a cat has an owner that cares to actually try and train it. Of course, sometimes they just don't care if you're calling them or you have to use reverse psychology and call one of the other cats. Then the one you want will come because it doesn't want to miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Apparently cats are very trainable, just we don't think to train them. Really all most people do is train them to use a litter tray or not 'go' inside, how to use the cat door/scratching post, and not jump on the kitchen bench. Beyond that we don't consider teaching them things. With dogs we have a culture that they are endlessly trainable, so we train them. Who here remembers that video of the goldfish trained to push a mini soccer ball into a mini-goal for a food reward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Firstly, you should probably make sure its a boy before calling it something like Bruce Secondly, and off the topic haha, I have been training my burmese girl a bit. She loves fetching, but she taught herself that. Have taught her to stand on her hindlegs and touch my hands, shake, and lie down. Moving onto rollover after exams are finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsweet Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 picking names is such fun but i dont like common names (specially when i worked as a vet nurse you'd hear the same ones ova an ova) Some ideas: sushi toot - sounds funny calling out :lol: toot toot, come on... tooooooot zero sup (pus backwards) boss Whitey instead of blackey fly crash toes Ps: you can teach cats tricks as my fluff ball Tex sits on comand. Sometimes you have to say it twice but he will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 .......... I have been training my burmese girl a bit. She loves fetching, but she taught herself that.

Moving onto rollover after exams are finished I would of thought a Burmese girl would already be trained. :roll: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
