Official Squatch Watchers

I was supposed to use the Toyota Corolla for my drivers test. Mom forgot, so i got to drive the Cadillac! It had been freezing rain the night before, then snow on top of that. I was driving on the way to the test, and we came to a narrow bridge. There was a truck coming the other way. I touched the brakes and the car did a 360°!!! I did manage to get the car straightened out. Poor Dad had his fingers gripping the dash board! But after that, i figured i could handle anything. Passed my first test, even in snow.

Nice!

Cats are like that. They do not understand why they are being scolded even.

You might have some success with clicker training though

Oh Ron. You are so hopeful and sweet.
Ive used clicker training for my past 3 dogs and the classes I used to teach for going on 15 years now.
My cats have always sat up high with their judgemental drowsy eyes and watched and snickered behind their tiny little hands while the dogs eagerly worked and learned their commands, then learned to chain them together into complex tasks.

I haven’t had a cat I could “train” yet.
They’ve all trained me though!

I know! Cats are such a hoot!

The two we have now are rescues so they are even more of a challenge. The Female did not want to have anything to do with me at first but can't get enough of me now. She was bombing my toes this morning wile I was making breakfast.

So Sweet!

I was backing out of a parking space. I went to hit the brake, it was the gas.. luckily the parking lot was mostly empty. Scared the crap out of me.

I did a bunch of spins on an overpass the first winter I was driving.
Never had to learn that lesson again.
“Bridges freeze before roads”. Check.

My cousin learned the hard way, don't slam on the brakes and turn the wheel.. flipped over her car. She was ok, but it was a bad wreck. I learned it that way too, but I ended up in a ditch & was able to drive out. I'm hoping my kid doesn't have to learn that way.
