April has a repetoire of tricks. This is the second one she learned, "sit." (The first was "lie down.") Look how attentive she is!
This is April in the "beg" position. What is she begging for?
Attention of course! April will do anything for some petting from me and has even begged a scratch from strangers now and then.
Of course, her favorite toy is a good reward too! (This one is a fur-covered toy mouse she likes to lick.)
Never underestimate the power of a good toy! Without toys, April's active mind will come up with other forms of entertainment...
Her favorite game is hunting inanimate prey. This smal pile is the collection she left by my parents' room when they were gone a few hours. April usually brings her spoils to me, and has presented me with everything from a sock to a guest's change purse to my dad's size 15 shoe!
A rather devilish trick of hers is to roll over into a "cute" pose. Then when I reach to pet her stomach...
She digs her front claws in, creating an inescapable grip and kicks at my hand with her powerful hind legs! These "wrestling" sessions are really April's worst habit. She thinks it's all in fun, but...
The hand to claw combat is always a bad outcome for the unwilling flesh combatant.
