Circus Cats

[JJuggle]

You can't force cats to do anything... (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060301/od_nm/life_cats_dc;_ylt=AoJgeIxG3liZs1H5HxqHA3es0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3NW1oMDRpBHNl YwM3NTc-).

Note the second clause of the first sentence of the fifth paragraph. Was that put in by a press agent or did the journalist come up with that herself, do you think?

Could you quote the "clause of interest" for us?

The picture of the kitty doing the handstand is nifty. All my cat does is eat, poop, and steal the blankets from me at night.

We trained our cat to be housebroken once upon a time. Some had some trouble with our methods though.

The cat would come into the house and poop on the carpet. I'd get so mad at it that I would grab it by the scruff of the neck, turn it around and rub it's face in the mess, then run upstairs and throw it out the window. The cat must have been hard-headed though because it went on like this for months. Day after day, the cat would come in, poop on the carpet, I'd grab the cat, turn it around and rub it's face in it, then run upstairs and throw it out the window.

Finally, finally we got it trained. The cat would come in the house, poop on the carpet, turn around and rub it's face in it, then run upstairs and jump out the window.

"Each cat likes to do her own trick," said Kuklachev, whose show has not been the target of animal rights protesters.

It is a bit of an odd quote to put in.

I didn't find it odd.
With everything from whale hunting to furlined fashion shows the targets of the Critter-Nazis, I thought that something like a cat-circus would've been picketed out of town.

If it wasn't mentioned, I would've wondered about it.

I wonder if he uses any bonsai-kittens (www.bonsaikitten.com/) in his show?

[BillyTheMountain]

No person or animal can be forced to "do" anything, but sometimes the contingencies are arranged in such a way where it's pretty darn hard to resist doing what is being asked/demanded.

I read somewhere that that was a fake....

Neat trick :D

As you discovered, cats aren't disgusted by poop. As anyone who has watched a cat for awhile knows, they clean their own butts with their tongues! They use poop like a signature to tell one another apart and mark territory. A raised tail usually is a sign of familiarity that means "I recognize you, and I'll let you sniff my butt so you can tell who I am."

Anyway, rubbing their face in misplaced feces usually just confuses them - "Yeah, that's mine. So what?"
