It is a long tradition in my family to teach our cats to "sit-up" for a treat. We never call it "begging", we always call it "sitting-up" - begging is for PBS and insolvent banks. The picture above is Oscar sitting-up yesterday.
In addition to sitting-up, Oscar will also fetch certain items - much like a dog. He is especially fond of popsicle sticks - and if I'm eating a popsicle, Oscar won't leave me alone. This obsession has developed into a little game. After I finish my popsicle, I toss the stick into the kitchen and he'll bring it back to me in his mouth. Usually he'll jump onto the couch and drop the stick right beside me so I can throw it again. He could do this for HOURS.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture of Oscar "fetching" yesterday - he moved too fast. But later I got a picture of Oscar laying on the kitchen floor attacking that BAD popsicle stick.
Does America's Got Talent accept kitties?...
