Luther was watching Blazer (the dog) very carefully this weekend, so I had Blazer do the “up up!” command, where he rears up on his hind legs with his front paws off the ground. I had Luther sit, then tempted him with a treat and said, “Up up!” And up he went! Thanks to Blazer for being a good dog and helping to train his feline counterpart.
On the other hand, Luther is getting quite the belly (he’s a very, very long cat—my girlfriend says he could “play linebacker in kitty football.”) I’ve already put him on reduced-fat food, but it might make sense to scale back the quantity as well.
