That is AWESOME! Btw, thank you for your suggestion of clicker training. I think rolling over won't be hard for Joshie as when he gets tired from playing and lies on his back he'll roll to the side you put the toy next to. I was thinking of trying, "Go scratch your post". Do you re-inforce them each time with play, food, petting, or sometimes just "Good Kitties"? Some things I've read indicate that you always do verbal praise and something else once the kitty is doing just what you want and others say to re-inforce with extras on a variable schedule. I didn't know cats were so easy to train either. Josh is the first animal I've trained period. Funny thing though; I didn't notice it at the time but when I took out the clicker Josh would sit promptly with one front paw in the air,lol. So, I started clicking for him putting his foot down and realized I'm not teaching him to sit so after a bit of luring into position and ignoring three legged sits Joshua sits normally;sleeps weird but sits normally.

Sandra and Joshua
