Herding Cats?

Nope.  Not herding cats.  Training them.  Or rather, finding out what they like to do, and then rewarding them for it.

I grew up with dogs and cats together.  I can think of three different pairs.  They would snuggle together in a sunny spot on the floor on a winter's day.  Or cuddle together on the couch.  Yes, we did allow our adopted greyhound on the couch.

The most fun was watching these creatures wrestle -- the dog being careful not to overwhelm the cat; and the cat being careful to keep her claws sheathed.  Over and over, round and round they'd go.

Cats who perform is a whole different circus.  Yet here's a guy who has figured it out.  Hope you enjoy their entertainment.
