It's a tradition in my family to teach our cats to "sit up". And NO, we don't call it "begging" - that would be undignified. Oscar, my 14-year-old boy kitty, has been doing it for years.
As you can see, Miss Dusty Winehouse (above and below) has mastered the art of "sitting up", especially if I'm offering a sip of a delicious cocktail...
Here's Dusty balancing on the side of the tub (that's Oscar to her right getting a drink). Look at Miss Thang showing her harmless fearsome fangs...
Happy Caturday!!
