GTFO with this hippy bullshite.

And is there any point where you "dog people" would admit he is a cool critter to own?

I'm a hardcore dog person but yes that's pretty damn cool.

What else would be cool to teach him? I think he could learn just about anything.

Play dead? I had a dog that you could "shoot" with your finger and she'd fall over on her side. She could also catch just about anything you threw with her mouth. That should be easy for a cat using his paws.

I am a dog person too. Never had a cat until recently. I am training it like a dog because I prefer dogs. But I do really enjoy the lack of "maintenance" that this cat requires. We have gone on two week vacations and just left the cat in the house with food and water and clean litter.

Where do I post a video of him fetching the toy (that I can link to this site)? I have one on my phone but I have never uploaded a video on the interwebs.

He will come when you call him by name.

Did you name him by the sound of an electric can opener? Cause that's the only sound I've ever seen a cat respond to.

One of my cats liked to fetch the small plastic balls; she surprised me one night by bringing a wadded up piece of paper (the size of a ball) so she could play fetch. She also liked to run and jump into a box moving across the floor, and then out and in.

Other cats in our current house have learned to open doors with the not round handles. Two brothers taught each other, they can almost reach the handle, but jump up, ride it down and then push with their hind feet.

We have had cats who stuck their paws under doors and pulled, closing the doors and shutting themselves out of rooms.

Feline intelligence is almost as varied as human.

my cat actually calls me


on the phone

I think this might be hard for a cat to learn how to do. Although I did teach (one of) my cat to shake my hand. She only batted like 50% for that but still better than my dog.

my outside cats will come running from across the neighborhood when called

Your cats just roam the neighborhood?

Uh yea, that picture is hilarious. And I like cats.
