You CAN train a cat, but don't expect dog results!

One of the mean girls, Mynx, rakes on my wooden door frame by the side door when she wants to go out. I have Tried spraying her with water, too cold right now and that would be cruel.
I started to ask her, "can you say, Please?"
It has been working and this morning I walked over to see her by the side door, she asked, "please," and I opened the door and let her out.
Btw, Troll Bridge has stopped caterwalling now that he has a buddy, though you wouldn't think so watching him with Digby.
We have heard him comment, "I now Know what Pyg meant (regarding Eva as a new puppy,) when she reminded us that Wednesday is garbage day.



I really think he likes Digby, who threw himself into a frenzed playtime in front of Troll Bridge yesterday evening hoping to illicit a true playtime. I could Swear that Troll Bridge was teasing Digby with his very long and very fuzzy tail!
I was concerned that the friend didn't know how to properly sex kittens, but I am Sure Digby is a boy.
He is largely unafraid, doesn't want to hide under any beds, jumps from spot to spot, and has taken a couple of tumbles and brushed himself off afterwards, instead of cried.
Digby won the new owner lottery.
So has DD. Her sister was holding Digby last night, eldest DD walked by and stopped to pet Digby, who immediately started to purr.
True love.
