My girl's pretty accepting, perhaps a little too accepting... except when she's done with pats and she love bites her mama, lol.
PS. Her favourite toy is her dino, which you can't see here bc she's busy laying on it. 🦖
The feets pushing up my keyboard are gentle, at least. 😆 Does your snowshoe compute with you? If so, please add a pic, thanks!
My girl hates her paws touched but is clever, so instead of "shake a paw" she's learning her version of low-five and high-five in exchange for kibble. She does it on key words and gesture rather than gesture alone (in the first bit I have a kibble under my thumb but hadn't said "give me five" yet). Once I did, she complied. 😂
I basically idiot-stumbled into the best way to teach her, entirely by accident, she can't see kibble in front of her face bc of the visual mutation they have and her pendular nystagmus (the vet says both are typical of her mix and given a Siamese parent). I started tapping wherever I placed kibble that she couldn't see, which later turned into an excellent training prompt. She really is way too smart for her own little good and has surprised me with some pretty impressive connection-making at times.
She'll run a full obstacle course (through kitty tube, up floor-to-cieling cat pole, across kitty-run, and all the way back with some tapping for a few kibbles. She also learned "up" (on back feet) on the first try but only once I could finally get her to "see" the kibble above her head, lol.
My hoser brain is not flexible enough to switch, it's always color now (bad Hoser). CSS code started it, now I can't seem to switch back. 🥴
Edit: If someone doesn't know what "code" means you probably weren't gonna understand a CSS reference either. Sorry! 🇨🇦
