Free Range by Bill Whitehead for September 02, 2024

The "fur"ther adventures of a moron.

That cat is going to teach him to use the litterbox.

I’ve had two cats who played fetch

In both cases it was a game they taught us how to play

I have had two cats who fetched. At my previous house I had a cat who fetched milk rings. That was Kyle named after Selena Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman. At my current house, I had a cat who fetched bouncy balls. I would sit in my basement room and throw the bouncy ball out into the basement area. The ball would bounce all over the place with the cat chasing it. Then he would bring it back to repeat. that cat was Ezekiel, but we called him Zeke.

Good luck.

Great puzzled expression on the cat

You gotta hand it to him, ‘cause he won’t pick it up.

The power of purrsuasion. (These aren’t your usual “Free Range” kids, smaller nose and eyes).

We’ll see who teaches who.

When I was six, I thought merely chasing a thrown stick constituted fetching, so I declared that my cat fetched one.

Maybe he should try confusing the cat first…I hear there’s a service that does that!

Cats can be taught! The misinformation will never cease. I taught a kitty to sit, stay, fetch and come when called. They are especially eager to learn when they are younger.

(two days later) a study was published today that says 40% of cats like to fetch
