Can your pet do any tricks?

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Wed Dec 17, '08, 3:43 am

Have you trained your pet to do any tricks or have they just naturally acquired the knowledge to do some kind of tricks? If so, what tricks can your pet(s) do?

Do you have to offer them some kind of treat to get them to do a trick? If so, what kind of treat(s) do you give them?

I haven't trained them specifically, but our cats have learned certain behaviors. For instance, they know which drawer we keep the cat toys in. ;)

I had a cat that would stand on his hind legs when you'd pet him. It was pretty neat, though it was the only redeeming quality he had, as his behaviour wasn't the best (he was destructive, chewed up cords and whatnot when he was younger D: ).

Training cats is like pulling teeth...from a mastodon. So no, our cats don't know any tricks, per se, but they do know certain things. One will occasionally stand on her back legs when she's begging for a peace of ham, but that's really about it.

Tsunami and Caged Wolf, I found it interesting about the cats you mentioned who were standing on their hind legs. We have a cat that does that almost exact same thing. He usually does it when he wants us to get the cat toys out and play with him. He is so cute and can stand on his hind legs for quite a long time. It is very hard to refuse him when he does this, and I think he knows how hard he is to resist as he does it very often. :)

Neither of my cats ever stood on their hind legs. My cat that I have now comes about 80% of the time when she's called. That's better than either of my dogs. XD
