Kittens
Wed Mar 30 2005 10:56 MST #So it has been an interesting Kitten week, on many fronts.
A couple of weeks ago we started training them - using dehydrated salmon treats, this is working well and Thor now sits ! Which rocks. He'll probably understand 'down' by the time pounce has got sit :).
Thor also has a collar on and and has all week! A record (we've been blowing through collars). Now we dream of using a lead, pounce on a collar. And the ultimate goal of BELLS!
Of course bells are the ultimate goal because they are hunting way to well. Yesterday we had a live , basically uninjured bird that pounce brought in - at around 7.30 in the am. And then Thor brought in a rodent that I had to kill last night. I want bells!.
And finally the most stressful bit - they are staying out too late. We're going to have to impose a nightfall curfew on them. 2 nights ago something was up with the cars and they where rocketing up and down the street. And there where a couple of stay dogs running about. Anyhow Thor didn't come home - and we finally found him across the street -- when he meowed at us to come get him. Then last night pounce didn't come home till after 10pm, an hour and a half late. It's curfew time.
