Cat Training

This may have been mentioned here before but it's probably worth repeating. Last year we picked up an adorable kitten at the local pound. Carolyn thought that in addition to his above average good looks, he also showed signs of above normal intelligence. More on this later. Some people thought his ears were a little large given his size but most seemed to think that he would probably grow into them much like teenage boys eventually grow into their feet. From the beginning, Carolyn had plans to exploit Spanky's extraordinary intelligence. Wouldn't it be fun to impress friends and neighbors by showing off the well trained cat. For those that wonder, this is the reason for the pink harness. Spanky has worn it since his first day with us. The plan was to teach the cat to walk on a matching pink leash. Picture this: Carolyn walking through the campground with well trained handsome cat on a pink leash, nearby dogs cowering (they sense the power of this beast) as she passes.

Well, the best laid plans and good intentions often lead to the same place.
