Can you herd cats?

I once presided over my county’s Democratic Central Committee. Yes, you can heard cats, but what why would you want to?

What you describe is consistent with what I was saying, and what is shown in the duct tape video: the cat tries to move away from the object, whichever direction that may be. Duct tape on top? Cat stays low. Duct tape on belly? cat tries to climb over it. Duct tape on left side? Cat stumbles to right.

These guys – ThunderShirts – are claiming that a snug-fitting shirt is calming for dogs or cats with anxiety problems. (Scroll down a bit for some “theory” about how it allegedly works.)

Sure seemed to work in those “cat sweater” videos. The cats calm down so much that they stop moving, regardless of what you do to them.

Of course I’ve heard of cats!

Well, someone had to say it, right?

But I’ve seen people walking a cat on a leash, so it can’t be that hard to train out of them.

It’s not that it’s hard to do. You just **have **to start early. If you don’t start leash-training when they’re kittens, it’s effectively impossible.

Oh, and I’m not sure if rabbits can be herded themselves, but they have been known to herd sheep now and then.

That’s an amazing video.
