very cute, I wonder how easy saluting is to teach a cat. moral boosting fluff blob
My cat is now eating his medicine out of my hand, because he knows he will get a treat afterwards. You just need to have something they really crave.
Very true. the clasic technique is a classic for a reason
I taught mine to turn off the lights. They instinctly paw at anything above their head, just reward that and you have a saluting cat
I’ve been trying to teach my cat to give me a fist bump for a few weeks now. He’s very dumb, and he’s not quite there, but I think with another week or two I can add it to his repertoire.
He’s very dumb
Maybe he just doesn’t respect you. Try catching and eating a mouse in front of him, and I guarantee he’ll fist bump you.
The propaganda machine was pretty strong back then. I’m guessing this involved a staple gun or taxidermy and didn’t take long.
Plenty of propaganda, but Smoky was a real cat – was rescued from a bombed-out building after an air raid by the woman in the picture - Miss Ann Twynam of Paddington (a district of London). While I’m sure his saluting trick didn’t involve taxidermy, I’m sure it involved bribery. Cats basically owned the black market in tuna during the war when pretty much everything was strictly rationed.
Kind of weird to look at a picture like this and realize that cat is probably dead now
Probably? Lmao that was 80 years ago
Cat lifespan is 13-17 years aside from a few outliers. Cats have 9 lives. That means a careful cat can live 117-153 years.
