    I interviewd an author of a Cat Behavior book, and she said most of the problem with training cats is people have much shorter attention spans and give up faster. A cat in the wild will sit for hours watching a mouse hole, a human gets impatient and bored!

    I can believe that. Mr. Spunky will play on an off for 30 minutes while I'll get bored within a few minutes. I've improved and we have several small sessions of more than a few minutes.

    I have to admit as I've matured that I enjoy watching my cats play silly games like Turbo Toy or Laser Bug chase.
