who is trying out for the Letterman Show's stupid pet tricks?

I heard they would be holding auditions but didn't get any details. I thought it was on channel 4 news at noon.

4. Maybe you should try...

training the *chimp* to read a newspaper. That would probably assure you a spot!

6. that is a beautiful cat!

It that a Maine Coon? We had one too and we called him Butchie. He was old and I forgot how beautiful they are when they are healthy.

9. I'll pass that on to Bug.

(He can't read yet, so I have to read it to him.)

He'll appreciate it.

Did you try the links at the bottom of the Page?

10. I can't get the links to work.

That is one great kitty though. My cat's trick: say to her, "Do you want a brush?" and she'll come running. She loves to be brushed and knows those words. Does Bug jump to a command or for a treat?

11. Thanks.

He was taught with treats, but he'll do it for fun or attention.

We recently adopted a kitten so Bug could have some company.
She learned to "HOOP" in 1 day after watching Bug.

"HOOPING the KITTYS" is a regular daily game which is announced with much fanfare and theatre,
so I don't know if they are responding to the fanfare or the word "hoop", but they always respond.

The links work for me, but others have had problems with them.

Try these:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=243x2668

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=243x4253

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=243x1425

Please let me know if they work.

Do you have any pictures of your kitty?

BTW: Most of the people (if not all) at our end of the table were "cat" people.

12. Oh yes, those links worked.

What absolutely wonderful pics and stories. I am just, wow. And I love the tree idea. I have LOTS of pics of my kitty but no way to get them online. I'll just try to remember to bring some to the next meet up.
Thanks

7. My dog is too stupid to be on stupid pet tricks.

And the cat too stubborn.
They have the kids well trained, though.
