I love my training sessions… but they don’t always love me! The other day my human decided to film one of them for TikTok and YouTube — and I was having an off day! Like, majorly off.
Don’t worry — I did all the tricks eventually. But my human edited together a bunch of the fails in the YouTube Shorts video below. I’d like to say it wasn’t as bad as it looks here… but yeah, it was definitely not a great training session. Fortunately I enjoy them (which you can tell!), no matter how poorly I’m doing.
Just a note here: you may have noticed that both my human and I are having fun with the training, even though I’m doing so badly! And that’s the key to training a cat to do tricks, or anything else — always make sure you both are having a good time, no matter what!
P.S. If you enjoyed the video, please stop by YouTube and give it a Like if you can! It’s always helpful to my Channel.

See all of Summer’s merch at her her Zazzle Designercat Shop
Even professional cats deserve a little goofing off. And yes, we can tell you’re still having fun!
You video fail are just as much fun as you photo fails! Summer, you Rock!
Summer…you are just the best little girl!
Still cute, MOL!
It doesn’t matter, because you still look as pretty as ever!
You do like to keep your human on her toes sweet Summer!
Nice to see you acting like we do. Momz has to make several tries to get Razzle-Dazzle to set up.

Dearest Summer,
You made me laugh and you actually DID ring that darn bell; enough for a treat!
Being you 70th viewer.
Hugs,

Still cute even if it is fails. XO
Awww, you just weren’t having it! MOL
You’re a star, Summer, not a puppet and like you said yesterday cats do things at our own speed when we want to.
Hey, we all have those days, Summer! Not that we do any tricks, of course…
Purrs,
Tama and Benny
Those were so great! I liked your video on youtube! It was awesome. My favorite was you rolling on the bell. I’m glad you were having fun.
You were trying, though!
We all forget things so you shouldn’t be embarrassed.
You looked like you thought maybe she needed you to
lay down for a belly rub. So many hand signals.
We liked when you rolled over on the bell!!! You’re so cute.
You can’t be perfect all the time.
That was an off day Summer, but don’t worry, we all have them.
