I got my first cat because my apartment complex did not allow dogs and I HAD to have a pet or I was going to go insane. Raised my kitten as if she were a dog. Taught her to come when called, sit on command, fetch, etc. She was harder to train than a dog, but not that hard. She loved yum-yum treats and would do almost anything to get one. She loved fetch. She was a Snowshoe mix and absolutely brilliant.
