Trick Practice, With an Observer

April 10, 2023 By: Summer Samba17 Comments

Summer goes outside to practice some tricks and finds that she is being watched by a familiar face.

My human took me out on the back patio for some trick practice, and look who was strolling by just as we came through the door?

Yes, it was the peach kitty! Because it’s been raining, I haven’t been out much and haven’t seen him. My human has seen him on the security cam every so often, and once when she was outside with the trash. But the weather kept me from seeing any of him for a month or so.

He even gave me a slow blink. Several, in fact. My human knows he was doing it for me because she took video and could see his eyes were focused in my direction, not up at her.

My human just had me jump up on the brick planters for trick practice anyway. She figured the distraction would be another element of my training. Because yeah, he was a little bit distracting.

I did several tricks even though I knew he was back there, observing. He even came back up on the patio and relaxed, like I was giving a show or something.

Sometimes I wonder what he is thinking. It must look strange to him, a cat on a leash, doing tricks with a human for treats. When he still won’t even come near my human. Although he will come up to about 6 or 10 feet away. My human wound up giving me treats to distract me and then throwing a few his way while I was eating them.

I think he should be doing tricks too.

    I wondered if Peach Cat had a home, but I see you said the Community takes care of him. Does that mean he gets to go inside a home, or does he have to find a place to hide and sleep outside? I think he would like to get to know you and your human much better. He is a handsome Young Lad. I bet he thinks you are very pretty and very lucky to have a human who loves you and cares for you. Where did Peach Cat stay when you had all that really cold weather?

    Peach kitty has a crush on you. Why wouldn’t he, look at you. Your silky fur, beautiful coloring, those gorgeous eyes, and if course that tail plume. Slow blinks say he’s in love

    I would be laughing at you. I thought slow blinking was something cats do with humans, not other cats.

    Peach kitty is very pretty and he definitely admires you. I have an all black kitty who has been wandering around the yard. I have been providing food and water and am attempting to see if he/she will decide that I am a human to be trusted in which case I’m willing to give him/her a home.

    Oh, this is fun. And he’s coming closer……Don’t you just
    bet he will, sometime this summer, get up really close for
    those treats? He thinks you have it pretty good, living
    inside and getting lots of attention. He doesn’t know what
    a “working girl” you are.

    Peach Kitty is a handsome boy and obviously likes you. Does he have a home?

      He’s one of the community cats my human had TNR’d as a kitten a couple of years ago. My neighbor feeds them regularly.

    Orange kitty reminds me of Binga and her “distractions” when you tried to work, Summer! He’s not QUITE as good as Binga was at stealing the whole show.

    Do you think that kitty has a home somewhere? I sure hope so.

      He’s a community cat. My human had his family TNR’d a couple years back when he was a kitten. Our neighbor feeds and looks out for them.

    I think Orange kitty liked the treats. Pretty sure he will be back 😉
    I think he likes your place and the treats and you 😉
    Purrs, Julie
