All my cats know the words "NO" and "Gentle"...with the exception of Bratty...oh, I mean, Basie. Little BRAT will ignore my "NO, BASIL NATHANIAL (LAST NAME)!!!!!!!!!!!" no matter how loud or how fast I chase him, I think its a double game for him: #1 being naw-tee and #2 having me make super-funny noises and then chase him around. Ha Ha, really funny, Basie.

Otherwise, he's a complete LOVER BOY! Oh well, he's utterly worth it.

I taught the kittens (Sampson {Sammy} - who went with David, Phoebe and the two other litter babies) "gentle" at five weeks when they would bite or scratch or try the 'oh so fun' running up the legs thingy.
