Yeah, it's nice if you can convince him to stay
Elsewise he's extremely passive aggressive and a brat besides

So, you put up with him for his heat? Is that it?

Yeh
He likes to be picky about settling down

Wait so is he super restless or is he one of those cats that doesn't want to settle but then when he does, he stays there for a goodly while?

If you put him somewhere he moves
If he puts himself somewhere he settles down

I thought that was just basic Cat nature... you mean some of your cats actually stay where you put them?

Mop and Rufus usually settle down pretty easily
Jazz will if it's into mom's lap

I want your cats to train my cats!

Well, to time travel back and have trained my cats. I've only ever had 3 family cats, and they're all gone now (they all three lived into their 20's, though). The ones that come with visiting family aren't really "mine" so I don't much care if they get trained...

Rufus doesn't bother now, but he knows tricks
Sit
Shake (both paws)
Up
"Handsome Man" aka rub face on offered fist

He's a schmuck like that

waaaaa, I've never met a cat that could do tricks like that! How did you manage to convince him to play along?
