I was told to come here to share some pics of my little buddy. His name is Lucky, he is a 10 month old munchkin, and we go for walks.  We're doing a little bike basket training as well, though this is going very slowly:  he's a goofball and i love him.

Radio! posted:wait He's called Lucky cause the exact second I paid his adoption fee, someone else came in asking to adopt him. Also white fur-blue eyed cat with full hearing. But he does look like a luck dragon. He was nonplussed when I showed him your responses.

Pepito is doing such a good job.Synthbuttrange posted:Hi Lucky! And WHAT he was just hanging about at a shelter?! His mom was a stray and got taken in. They adopted out the kittens when they were old enough, but he was uh. Not nearly as pretty then.  And most days he looked more like a ferret than a cat.  I think it put people off taking him in. I saw him and fell in love with him though. Here's the night I brought him home:  I could talk about him for hours I hope this isn't too much! I just really love him a lot, I've wanted a pet cat since I was a kid, but was never ready for the responsibility.

Lucky can do some tricks. This is a tiny sampling of some he knows, and it is now a few months old. He does jump better, and we are learning roll over and through (go through the pink tube) now. He also is learning how to do circle (go around in a circle). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W476fzRFBhQ

Radio! posted:HOW I got a clicker, like you would use for a dog. I spent 3 days just practicing with him--click, treat. Click treat. I started delaying the treat a bit from the click, so he understood very clearly that a click means a treat. I asked a friend who does animal behaviour, and she gave me a cool dog book (101 Dog tricks: step by step activities to engage, challenge, and bond with your dog) that uses clicker training. I taught him how to sit over the first few sessions--when he made progress, I'd click and give him a treat. Once he got the behaviour, I would only reward when he followed the command. I mostly use gestures--he doesn't seem to pay attention to my voice, which is fine. After that, I taught him to sit up, and we've just kept building on his tricks. Each session, we do a quick warm up running through several of his 'mastered' tricks, and then we work on whatever the current trick is. At first, he had a really short attention span. Some days he still gets frustrated, but ultimately it's a puzzle with a reward he really wants, so I just adjust for how he's doing each day and we keep working at it. I really love the time we spend training, and he always starts purring as loud as he can and following me around when I grab his clicker off the hook, so I think he likes it too. Kvantum posted:Wow. He's even more trained than Dinah. Is it some Munchkin thing? I don't think my wife has gotten her doing "Wave" yet. (Dinah just will sit up and speak on command so far. Yes, I am getting the wife to try and catch it on video.) I don't think it's a particularly a Munchkin thing, but I do think they are more inclined because they're generally puzzle solving to climb and get around all day while a regular sized cat can just jump up to what it's interested. Lucky is extremely food motivated, so that helps a lot. Wave was a total accident--I eat plain greek yogurt with some cereal every morning, and was staring out the window when he got up on the window seat and wanted to see what was in the bowl. When sitting up left him still too short, he used a paw to point at the bowl--it got my attention and I was super surprised. I checked real quick he could have plain yogurt, and then that morning we had an impromptu training session--he'd point/wave at the bowl, I'd give him a tiny drop of yogurt. Now, any time he wants to see what I'm doing/holding, he sits up and waves/points and it is the cutest thing  I've tied it to a hand gesture, because it is a super useful thing he does and I don't want him to stop. That and training him to bring toys he wants to play with over have both been life savers. Also your cats are both so lovely Edit: Here's a pic of him this morning, checking out his selfie

I have no idea how to reply without just screaming endleslly about how wonderful all of your cats are. Here is a big dumb baby who yelled until I picked him up and carried him around to examine all the Tall Things that he can't reach.

There are so many good cats. I love all the Daves, walking cats, and just cats in general. This morning Lucky decided that he is anti-exercise, and attempted to destroy my garmin.
