    Our one cat has learnt to communicate with us using buttons and currently knows 44 words. 3 weeks ago I started teaching other verbal commands. She knows “give paw”, “sit” and “come here”. She also frequently opens doors and drawers and breaks into everything she can. Also she instantly manipulates any visitors by begging to be picked up and giving their nose a little lick. She appreciates car rides and going on adventures.

    Our other cat licks smooth plastic, bites sticks off of plants and looks behind the tv to see where characters went after they walked off screen. Anything unknown (like new people) sends him into a panic, but usually he flees exactly into the wrong spots (like the exact spot those new people are obviously walking towards).

    Got a white cat much like the one on the right. The common refrain of “one orange brain cell” definitely applies to these fuckers too. Although I am very happy she is starting to learn not to use her (extremely sharp) claws when playing with my hand.

    One of my mom’s cats figured out how to open doors. The other can’t quite figure out how to meow (that might be inbreeding or abuse at the breeder though)

    One of our cats has successfully gotten through three different types of child-proof locks to get into the treat cabinet.

    The other one just sat on a lit candle.
