This dog can dance!

My cat loved the mushrooms we got in Chinese food (the ones that look like a little penis). We would pick them out and toss them to him across the floor. He'd pounce on em, smack them around a bit, then finally eat them. One year for Christmas my mom wrapped up a can of those mushrooms in yarn and gave them to him. We had a blast tossing them across the room for him to mess with.

Along time ago I used to do audits for the gas company for mostly low-income and elderly people. One house I had to audit once was owned by a little old lady who had like 10 cats or so. Go figure... Anyway, when my house inspection was completed and I sat at the kitchen table to do the paperwork, one of her cats jumped up on the table and kept trying to brush his face on my hand as I was writing. The lady said that he was her favorite cat and proceeded to tell me that she trained the cat to use the toilet AND THEN FLUSH IT! This was years before that movie "Meet the Parents" and Jinxie, lol. So, I smiled and said "That's nice" because I just wanted to get out of there by then. She said that it's OK I didn't believe her but she would prove to me that the cat could use the toilet.


I didn't really want to see this but the lady was just a poor lonely old lady and I felt sorry for her so I played along with it for a minute. The cat didn't have to "go" at that point but she did tell him to try and go anyhow. So after some encouragement from her, this cat jumped up on the frigging toilet seat, sat over it for 30 seconds or so (facing out like a person would) and then turned and flushed the toilet using his paw on the handle! Un-freaking-bee-leev-able! She said that she had to put a longer flush handle on it to allow the cat better leverage to flush it easier. I quit that job later that week.
