Yes, Kashmir has learned how to sit pretty!  The photo above doesn’t show him in his best moment (usually he gets the two little paws up in such a sweet manner) but I wasn’t able to take a better shot of this adorable trick.  But the funniest thing is…  Sacha can sit pretty too!  And since he’s got one BIG bottom to rest on he does it even better than his little brother…  I’ve got to take a picture of that one, but for the time being he’s eaten enough biscuits.  His bottom needn’t get any bigger…

Yup, I am training Sacha too.  He isn’t as lazy as I thought, though I don’t expect he’ll jump through hoops very soon!  I first tried training him “kiss”, but that requires a certain amount of love and trust, and he doesn’t have enough.   Yes, my cat hates me.  To him, I am a machine that fills the food & water bowls, cuddles him when he’s sad and scolds him when he’s bad.  But oh, no never! Never will I be a cat like him!  I am a lowly human…

Ah well, I must say, it’s better than being a lowly mouse.  I wouldn’t want to be bitten to death by this unworldly creature.  Though one thing I discovered when clicker-training him: by far, he’s got the strongest jaws!  Is there any way you can clicker-train a cat not to eat your fingers along with the treats?!
