What is a Good Cat? Watchful
One afternoon, Caitie and Nicky were resting in the shadow of the small Japanese maple tree when they detected something in the yard next door. They became alert, for it could have been one of the neighbor’s cats, and a Good Cat must remain vigilant to keep any trespasser off its property.
I snapped the picture and then turned around to see what had caught their attention. It was the big dog next door named Casey, out to answer nature’s call. Casey kept her distance, and both Caitie and Nicky resumed the watchful relaxation of a couple of Good Cats.

Home Video Monday: Kelly and Nicky return
Kelly has already put Nicky in his place at least once before, but here’s a more recent video of the Big Guy giving Nicky a quick reminder that he’s the top cat at this house.
While outside, three cats meet at a narrow passage. Alpha cat Mr. Kelly lets calico lady Caitie pass, but whaps Nicky.

What is a Good Cat?
“Cats are very smart and very trainable, but they’re not dogs. They don’t take orders. They will do things you want them to for praise and for fun — and if they want to do it.”
— Vickie Shields, one of the founders of International Cat Agility Tournaments.
Caitie is going on 12 years of age, but she watches what she eats and keeps active, so she has the energy of a younger cat. The other three cats take the steps on the far side of the deck, but our Calico Diva has the agility to climb up a different way. It saves her some time and some steps, and for this Good Cat, it’s not much more physically demanding.
