Well me must stawrt today wiff a pawlogy. mommy weminded me dat me didn’t announce da winner of meez FroliCat Flik give away. We use Random Picker.com and put all da names in da drawin’ and then click da button so we can have a winner. They have all these official seals and stuff, but as you know mommy knows nuffin’ bout code so weez can’t put it up here. Annyways, da winner was our sweet furiend Christy Paws. She has a new FroliCat Flik headed her way. This week weez giivin’ away anudder pawsum toy fwum PetSafe called da FroliCat Pounce. Ifin yous haven’t entered yet, head on over and do dat here. Now, lets get on wiff today’s posty. Last time sis Lexi told ya’ ‘bout learnin’ to dial da fone so we fawt she shuld tell da rest of da stowry today. Dialin’ fur help ain’t da only fing weez do wiff da fone, so there was still more to learn. Wight sissy?
Yeah Dezi datz rite. There are timez when mommy’z wide awake and just can’t get to da fone. Like when she’z fallen or passed out and come to. Or in da meownin’ when she be in bed and can’t move just to name a few. Durin’ those timez there are occasionz mommy needz da fone. Dezi told ya’ da udder day dat mommy attaches da belt holderz to da backz of da handsetz so we can carry them wiff our mouffs. Well when we train, we’re usually much yunger and smaller, so she attaches a string to da belt loop holder cuz weez not yet strong enuff to pick up da fone much less carry it. But we can fur shur drag it. Ya’ saw an example of dat in sis Dezi’z video of da FroliCat Flik. When workin’ on an item, mommy usually combines trainin’. Dat convoluted sentence means dat durin’ da time mommy was trainin’ me to dial da fone she was also trainin’ me to bring her da fone. On Monday you saw da corded fone she used to train me to make calls on, and she used da cordless fones fur da bringin’ her da fone trainin’.
So mommy wuld carry me to da bedroom to da cordless fone and show me da string. Well you tell me, what kitty do you know dat dusn’t like stringz? I wuld play wiff da string and pull on it and da fone wuld eventually end up in da floor. Naturally I wuld jump down to da floor to continue to play. Now da trainin’ kicks in. Mommy wuld wait till I grabbed da string and then she wuld gently pull da fone to da livin’ room or pawdee box room wiff me attached to da udder end and followin’ close behind her. She wuld say da whole way, fings like; “Bring me the phone Lexi. Lexi, please bring the phone to me.” And when we wuld get to where mommy wanted me to be, she wuld take da fone fwum me and lubb all over me and tell me how much she lubbed me and how purroud of me she was. And then we wuld start again. Bein’ a kitten, my attention span wasn’t that long so trainin’ sessions usually consisted of a kupple tries at a time and then we wuld take a break.
Sumtimes mommy wuld lay in bed and while me was givin’ her a massage she wuld pull da fone over and let me play wiff da string a little and then pull me and da fone up to hers ear and have me lay down against it so dat da fone wuld stay at mommys ear. She wuld have purrtend conversations and then motion fur me to go back to massagin’ her. I never get tired of givin’ mommy massages. We wuld repeat these exercises over and over again until I wuld bring mommy da fone wiffout her havin’ to be there to drag us. I was always happy when mommy praised me and told me how much she lubbed me. I like da fone and fink it’s fun, but not nearly as much as Dezi. I never played wiff da fone less mommy was givin’ me a lesson. So youz’ll have to read Dezi’z trainin’ storiez fur da funny fone trainin’ episodes.
Fanks sissy. Me duz luv da fone. Meez finally grown up a bit and learned to leave da fone alone lessen mommy tells me to get it. But me did make sum funnies when me was yunger, didn’t me?. MOL Fanks fur tellin’ anudder wunnewful trainin’ stowry Lexi. Me sure hopes all our furiends awe enjoyin’ readin’ ‘bout our twainin’ antics. Hope yous all have a gweat day.
PeeEss: Mommy did find our fotos, she just hasn’t had da time to put them all in da puter yet.
Till da next time……………………..Be Blest!!!
I love reading your training stories. I would love to teach Carmine and Lita how to dial 911 on a cell phone, but I suspect it would be much easier for them to learn with a landline phone with buttons.

Congratulations to Christy Paws.
Another great training story. Just tonight I was reading on FB about someone trying to train their cat to call 911 if needed but didn’t know if the training worked or not until they passed out and woke up to the police at the door and the cat sitting by the phone off the hook. It was good to hear that someone else knows that kitties are smart and can be trained.
Love you all so very much. Lots of hugs and kisses.
