Trainability in cats is a funny thing.
My cats understand and will obey a number of verbal commands, one of which is “go away”. I don’t use it often, but if they’re bugging me and I’m trying to work or doing something that could be dangerous for cats, I can tell them to go away, and off they go - they’ll only keep pestering me if there’s a serious problem they need me to look at.
That said, their idea of a serious problem that requires my attention is somewhat eccentric. Previous instances have included:
- There was an unfamiliar car parked across the street
- Their water bowl was four inches to the left of its usual position
- One of them had puked on the stairs and they didn’t want to walk past it
- It was raining
- One of them saw a weird bug
These are all very important things that required your attention. They’re doing a good job.
Dogs really aren’t much better. I teach all my dogs the command “show me”. How it works is if the dog needs something but I’m having trouble understanding what exactly they’re trying to tell me, I say “show me” and they lead me to whatever the problem is. Usually they lead me to a real problem (like a toy that got stuck under the couch, their water bowl is empty, etc). But sometimes they want me to fix things like this-
- They pulled the covers off my bed and now they want me to put the covers back
- They put their ball on top of the ottoman but the ottoman won’t throw it for them
- The cat is sleeping and won’t chase them
- A flower fell off the potted plant
- The cat is sitting in a box and they don’t like it
- One of them lost their bandana
- The cat won’t take the toy they’re trying to give her
- The cat DID take the toy they gave her and now they want it back

One of my neighbours slipped this under my door while I was practising, I thought they were going to make a noise complaint but they just had a request. I played it with my windows open and I heard really loud clapping come from a balcony a few stories up which was super lovely. I’m in such a lovely mood now it’s so nice to be appreciated.
Why is this the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen?
