Is there any wayto train cats to mix cocktails and make tea? I have been offered a mewling prototype old cat and would only consider offering it a home and choice scran if it was prepared to make itself useful or at least attempt some form of training in the bartending/refreshment arts. Can the pawed and furred ones be coerced into some form of light domestic duties in return for food and lodging? I have no need for a mouser as I have wired up the skirting boards with short-fuse starfish and they seem to control the problem.

Tea towelI once managed to drape a tea towel over our old mog, and he almost got it as far as the kitchen before it fell off. That's about the most notable thing I can recall.

cats balancing objects walk backwardsfact.
putting a small washing basket over your cat is pretty good too. they become suprisingly effective daleks.

for some reason thatreminds me of one of the funniest cartoons I've seen in Viz. It was a picture of a dog with his arm round a crying man - with the caption something like "Bert - The best dog in the world".

Also, I'm sureyou could emply an ex actor from Cats to do this as actors are out of work 90% of the time.

I could be interested in this ideaas long as they didn't sing. Would I get one, or a whole troop?

Nopebut if you ever want anything knocked off a table, a bin scattering over the floor, or some nice clean washing shed all over, my two would be glad to oblige.
That is after their sitting motionless for 3 days record attempt is over.
