After Learning How to Ring a Bell, I Touch a Bunch of Random Stuff

September 12, 2020 By: Summer Samba27 Comments

After learning how to ring a bell, Summer's next step is to touch a bunch of random things on command.

As you all know, part of my repertoire of tricks involves ringing a bell.

somali cat ringing a bell

But ringing the bell is only the start. My human has transferred my touching the bell to touching other things. You saw that a while back when I was learning to play the piano. For today’s session, my human gathered a bunch of random things for me to touch when she asked me to.

somali cat measuring ceramic cat measuring cup

First she had me touch this ceramic cat measuring cup. (In case you are wondering where to get these you can find them here on Amazon.)

Then she had me touch her 7 lb. pink kettlebell. At least she didn’t expect me to pick it up!

somali cat touching luminara candle

Next, she had me touch this Luminara flameless candle. Don’t worry, that’s a fake flame. My human only has fake candles here.

somali cat touching Alice In Chains box set

Talk about random — she even pulled out this old Alice In Chains CD box set! I’m not even sure she has something to play it on.

somali cat touching an old athletic shoe

Finally, she had me touch this old athletic shoe of hers.

Okay, that was a weird blog post! If you can think of anything you’d like to see me touching, let me know in the comments.

    You can touch anything Summer. You’re such a pro. I love the idea of having you use your paws to create art for a charity auction. We do a fund raiser called painted paws every year. We make a ton. Our cats and dogs walk on the canvases then humans add some interesting touches. That’s a great idea. Being it’s you, people would donate a ton for an original Summer Samba

    I reckon your paw print would be worth a mint, so maybe you could touch and ink pad, then some cards, and auction them for charity?

    Hmmmmmm, at least she could put a fishie there for you, or maybe a nice steak. You could toucha the fishie and then eat him too. She might was well have you touch things that have a payoff for you!

    Paper money or plastic. You can touch that and mail it to me. Heh heh! I must say I’m good at smelling things put in front of me.

    Very impressive with the touching. That is disappointing there were no snacks in the bowl though.

    I can’t think of anything new I would like to see Summer

    the pictures where she was “playing” the piano.

    Touching a bag of treats in a proprietary manner? Like “dibs”?
