Our lovely Bengal cat Sketchie has mastered 'sit' and 'shake a paw', but he is terribly confused about 'shake the other paw'! :)

  • Maybe his left handed ^.^

  • That's a great trick!

    Shake is one command that she's learned means the left paw, but then "shake other paw" is an incredibly complex sentence structure for a cat. you should choose a single word that means "shake your right paw" that doesn't sound similar to "shake" and she'll pick it up fine.

  • Haha, I love this! My dog is exactly the same way... He automatically hands me his right paw every time, but when I try to get him to "give other paw" (something my parents' dog does with no problem) he just looks sooo confused! I've only tried to teach it to him a few times, so maybe eventually he will get it, lol... Your Bengal is absolutely beautiful btw :)

  • um... you seem to be confused...this is a cat, C-A-T, a cat. not a dog. cats are leaders, not followers, it's impossible to train a cat in this manner. a man in atlanta did have trained cats, you can find him on youtube. he;s russian, but trained is still loosely used.

  • I remember a kindergarten teacher who wanted me to be right-handed...dumb broad...she didn't wear underwear...I remember "nap time" and lying on my back as she walked around us...probably warped my mind forever...and I am STILL left handed!

  • cats are south paws, as we southern types say.

  • The cat can't lift the right paw because he can't put the left one to the ground, 'cause your stupid hand is in the way.

  • I remember reading something about most cats being left handed

  • What a beautifull cat!

  • lol! BeBe knows touch and will run up and smack things out of my hands now. so cute. cats are great! <3

  • @chrisbitz Good idea. I was in dog training for a while. We taught "shake" to mean to right " and "paw" to mean the left>

  • Maybe he uses his other hand for... things. He did you a favour bro.
