Add up your humans score, and be sure to give them a treat for giving it all their effort.


If your human scored:

(10 points): Your human has all the potential in the world, but still is far too humanlike. Make sure when you do something cat like, you make sure that they see you having the time of your life. Humans are impressionable and curious animals, and will likely imitate you. Help them along by rewarding them with a head butt. If they mess up, hiss a sharp "no!" and try again. Always end on a positive note. A dead mouse on their pillow is a fine reward for these human pets.

(11 - 20 points): You're getting there! Your human is a bright animal who has all the potential in the world. Make sure to keep up your training with short sessions with lots of encouragement and rewards. A live mouse on their pillow, while they're sleeping, usually does the trick for an "ultimate" reward for a job well done.

(21 - 30 points): Your human shows tremendous potential. Consider getting involved in cat shows or cat agility with your bright human so their intelligence can be brought to it's full potential. Smart humans like a challenge, so consider running like lightning when they pick up a dish towel, but sleeping through construction that's going on 2 feet away to further enrich their thinking minds. Humans in this intelligence range often respond well to training, so teach your human some tricks, such as
"clean my box", "feed me now", or "place me in that carrier and your life is over".

(31 - 40 points): You have a very special creature on your hands, so don't waste it. Make sure you spend a lot of time loving and training your human.
Your human is much more feline than most. However, with such intelligence, there can be problems. Such high intelligence can sometimes make your human pet believe that they're the dominant creature. This is false. Remind them, once in awhile, who is really in charge by peeing in their shoes, yowling in the middle of the night to keep them awake for no reason, and doing a Bonsai dive on top of their head and biting the crap out of them while they're trying to seduce that "special someone".

As far as the scoring goes, remember this is just for fun ;)
F FeralHearts one year we had a litter of kittens we were fostering during a re-construction project. They were about 12-14 weeks old, too old to contain 24 hours a day, so we'd let them out when activity died down, and they had the best time, plus the kittens grew up in a noisy house hold and became really well adjusted adults. During this project we had to tear off some old wall paper. The kittens found the strips and began attacking them, and I worked along side them pulling strips off with them. I think those kittens thought I was one of them :lol:

I did have a number 5 incident with a cat i used to own named Ginger, she got chased by my dog up a high tree down the street. My sister thought it was a great idea to taunt our germanshepard through the security door while holding ginger and thought it was a wise idea to open the secruity door to put the cats paw out to taunt more, when princess got fed up and pushed her nose to open the door further and fully pushed her way through, so she let go of the cat, there was a wild chase through the house and out the door ginger went with princess chasing her right up to the tallest tree.


We waited 15 minutes, and then called the Fire Department to come and get her down, the whole neighbour hood was out watching this rescue lol. Poor ginger was in shock from the dog chasing her (stupid sister). Back then we didnt have mobile phones to take a quick photo of the fireman and ginger together in the tree and when she was rescued, but i remember it like it was yesterday.

5: Get up on the highest cabinet you can find and pretend you can't get down.

d) Call the fire department, and the SWAT team and the local reporters come out and take your photo, and now you're famous
