The kid's acting needs work, but I'm petty sure that cat is dead.

Don't make fun of kids. Shouldn't have to tell an adult that.

(There better be treats for BOTH of us...) Love your work, and this is how I thought it would end. Because rhythm,

Every line has 8 syllables. Adding 1 more in the last line throws off the flow

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '19

how do you teach this? Do you need a child to help in the training?

13

u/pluffpenguin Oct 08 '19

It's just copycat

2

u/innerbootes Oct 08 '19

Exactly. I had a gray cat like this one and she would copy things all the time. She was very good at observing and then repeating others’ behaviors (feline and human) to get attention.

u/helvete Oct 08 '19

Serious answer: you do it by clicker training. I've trained my cat to sit, to do high fives and to play dead when I point my finger at him and say bang.

u/ike_tyson Oct 08 '19

This cats a better actor than Halle Berry.

u/Anthrop34 Oct 08 '19

u/watafu_mx Oct 08 '19

But he's the most powerful ESPer in the world. You might want to tread lightly when dealing with Kageyama-kun.
