Luckily I got video proof before she passed away, but when I tell people that my old cat could roll over and sit down on command no one EVER BELIEVES ME. I am an animal trainer... my animals end up being able to do crazy things!
So here's the video! Sorry for the slight sound delay on it, but video proof that, yes, Scruff DID roll over and sit on command. And sometimes not even by command...

Yeah, sometimes she would just come up to me, roll over, and sit up looking at me like "yeah, I want a treat. I rolled over. Give me one."
Oh, cats.
One of her kittens, Jake, was one of those cats that would sit on your shoulder while you worked.
And I guess I ought to at least run through the kittens that Scruff had. She had five: Jake, Jackie, Phoenix, Jaia, and Graden.
Jackie and Phoenix (seen in that order from left to right) sitting in front of that vent Scruff liked to knock in!
Jaia (went through a HUGE color change!):
Jackie again with Graden... Graden was the bigger one. Spitting images of their mom.
And you already know Jake:
Cutest picture ever of Scruff and Jackie... both litter runts (I assume Scruff was because she never really grew very big) and spitting images of each other.
Of course after ensuring all of the kittens were healthy and had good homes, Scruff was spayed.

OMG, Mel. What a feline!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous, intelligent face..
I'm so sorry you lost her. But she was sure lucky she had you for her human.
What a beautiful bond you two had.
Oh, the cuteness has no limits!
ReplyDeleteI taught Rosy to roll over.
