The First Time Opie Was in the Studio

I had been painting the deck outside. One of the cats had gotten out but I got her back in. I didn't realize right away that she might have had paint on her paws. I am not sure when she got out and I was lucky that there was no paint on her paws. She would have made nice tracks on the living room floor. Of course, not thinking about the wet paint, it was I who had tracked some into the house and not the cat. I wasn't much of a mess. But I can't figure out how the cat didn't get paint on her paws.

No i think so it is great one cat i have heard of i think it is very active and he can learn the things once said i think it has to be treated very nice.

Nope, just wanted to tell you that this is a very cute story. I love cats :D

We recently got two new cats from the shelter and just before Christmas my husband accidentally taught the older one a new trick. The cat had dragged off a table a stuffed musical chihuahua that played Christmas carols. My husband picked it up and told the cat he was to leave it alone unless he played with it the right way and my husband pressed the paw and activated the music. The cat sat there watching him the whole time and when my husband put the toy back on the table and sat down, we all watched while the cat went back over and jumped up next to the toy. He carefully walked over and activated the music. We all started laughing at my husband, who was sitting there with his jaw dropped, and said "Now you did it. You said he could play with it if he did it right and then you showed him how. You taught him this trick, it is your fault." The cat waited for the music to stop and then he activated it again. When he tired of playing with it, he just walked away and ignored it most of the time, but every now and then we heard the music playing and knew the cat was at it again.
