on 3/10/2008 I got my cat from the pound when she was 5 months. Took a few weeks but she learned to sit before I'd serve her dinner. She makes it quite clear she thinks I'm nuts for asking her to sit but she does it for me. At first, she thought I was teaching her to ask for food - so when she wanted her meat, she'd go to the kitchen and sit - waiting for me to serve her :) A year on, we're working on Stay!!!
