We have 3 cats and 1 puppy

We have been teaching the pup to sit for a treat and give paw

Well tonight i offered out 4yr old cat a treat

And he automactically sat down and gave me hes paw i didnt tell him 2

Well i have never seen any of our cats ever do that

He must have been watching Lola and thought he would try it

Had to share coz it really did make me chukkle

Aww that is so sweet! You will have to make sure that he gets included in all the puppy training

My kittens now know how go on their hind legs for "Up" and Wilbur knows to give me one paw for "High 5".

Oscar is a bit slower for that one as he always gives me both paws. However Oscar will eat the treat from my fingers without biting me, but Wilbur prefers me to put the treat on the floor.

It is so cute, but they will only do it for me, even if my husband tries to tempt them with a treat they will ignore him. Oh well...

He now does:
Sit
Ups
lay down

We have decided we are going to start training the boys once we are back from our hols. Did try a little bit with Storm and asking him to give paw but if the treat is in sight he gets this one-track mind!

If you start clicker training your puppy it won't be long before the cats are trained as well. Mine are obsessed with it as they know that click = treats and will try and steal the clicker if it's not put away out of sight!

Yes my cat has taken on some characteristics of the dogs too - it's amazing really.
