This is what happened, I had today off from work, and Snowball and I were in the kitchen. After a few minutes, Snowball had one of those bursts of energy that all cats have. He kept trying to jump onto the table which isn't allowed, and each time this happened I said "no" and he didn't jump. But then I noticed that he was trying to hold in all his excess energy too, so I said "go into the hallway if you want to run." As soon as I said that, Snowball immediately went into the hallway and started running. I was totally suprised, because I have never said that to him before, and I didn't use any special voice tone.
He just did what he was told to do!!!!
