    Dogs and cats are both fine. People who want to “train” a cat are misunderstanding the nature of the relationship, though. Do you train your friends to do what you want them to?

      If my friend had a habit of jumping on the kitchen counter and chasing after my ankles, then yes, I would train them to stop that.

      Eh. I’m more of a fan of hypnosis. Give them a trigger word, and then program them rather than train them. Make their trigger word something that wouldn’t come up in a natural conversation, and when they hear it, they drop to their knees, give you a blowjob, give you all their cash, and don’t remember any of it.

      Oh, by the way…Bêtise!!!
