Sammy knows his name, food, no, and "where's my kitties?"

Henri and I are working on a little bit of sign language, but so far she knows that if I point to the floor, it means get off the counter. Also, if I stomp on the floor when she goes to chew on something naughty she knows to stop. She's also learned that if she uses one of her designated scratching places, she can come over to me right after and have her tummy rubbed.

Bakker responds to outside (we shake his collar as he knows he can go outside if he has his collar on!!) The cats all respond to thier names and I say "hurry" in French to OX and he knows he has to move!!!

Twitch & Ophelia don't respond to any words for some odd reason...


Lily's word is food. Plain & simple gets her running.
Damita's word is Damita.
Chico's word is bathroom.
He is a weirdo.

"Breakfast" and "out" are Jamie's favorites, as they always get him running. He replies to a lot of phrases, though, like "Anybody home?" or "Is it treat time?"

Well...Lucky knows her name (whether she responds is totally up to her mood at the time). Rambo responds to the sound of anything to do with food: temptations bag crinkling, cupboard being open, feet on tile (kitchen floor)....Can you tell Rambo has a one track mind? I usually don't even bother with words for him.

I guess Lily's always the first to arrive for dinner by default, huh?

My cats like their names said to them in a sing-song voice. They like the t-t-t-t noise you make to call them too.

Mr. Tinkles comes running when I call "Tinkie Toes"...or "FOOD!!!"

When I talk to Spike he looks at my like I'm nuts...but when I whip out cotton balls he scrambles the other way....he hates to have his butt wiped....

Devin responds to Devi with a meow. Normally, I say "devin/devi" and he meows so I say "come here"

He's also responds to come here. Of course he'll still meow and then come.


I also ask "wheres daddy?" and he normally goes straight to the door and waits for him to come back. They way I know JosÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] is running late is because Devin is meowing at the door and trying to get me to "investigate" the door.


Anytime I say "put on the air" or "i'm going to put on the air" Devin gets all excited and runs over to the spot on in the kitchen so he can have air blowing on him.

Oh and any mention of food is met with him full stop on the dining room table/kichen counter.

Reilly loves lots of words

"where's your ball"

and when I come home and call for him "baby!!" he comes running and cries while he's running (it's so funny to see!)

Trent likes it when I tell him he's a "good boy".
But he really is a good kitty, so I tell him that a lot. He purrs louder when I tell him that.


Ophelia likes "treats". She doesn't like "ask nicely" because that means I'm making her do her "trick" for me before she gets treats.
She can be quite demanding when it's time for treats, so we worked on her asking nicely, which is a little "Mrrrrp?" instead of the usual "Me-NOW!!" that she does when I'm not fast enough.

My boys both know their names.
Pushkin responds to Pushy and will look at me while I talk to him. He's really good about coming when I call him when we're outside.
Wiggies will come running enthusiastically when I call "wigg wigg wiggies" in a high pitched voice 'cos that means there's a spider for him to deal with.

Wow, I'm surprised you were able to reign her in even that much when there are treats involved!
