Back by popular demand, some updated pics of Ollie: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55451212806_52cb3d95bf_z.jpg "Ollie 3 - ND") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/194984876@N07/55451212806/in/dateposted-public/) [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55451212816_1234cec094_b.jpg "Ollie 1 - ND") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/194984876@N07/55451212816/in/dateposted-public/) [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55450235722_d7045fd6b2_z.jpg "Ollie 2 - ND") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/194984876@N07/55450235722/in/dateposted-public/) Now that I’ve (finally) figured out a way to get them off my phone and onto my computer, I can bore enchant you with more of them! 😉 @Lucas_Jackson, your new kitty is just adorable! And **Mollie** , Chloé is always precious. 🙂 Ollie would love the Treat Game, but he’d never stop looking for #4. ---

Aww, thanks. 🙂 He’s just so hard to photograph – never stops moving! Even if I hold a treat or a favored toy over his head, he starts jumping around. “Stay” is a command that lasts for about 2 seconds. I could probably get some of him sleeping. 😉 ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > Well, disciplined or not, it sure looks like Ollie is living their best doggie-life! I’ve had so many dogs, and all of them were very well trained. I’ve never had one I couldn’t train and train well. I always took credit for my excellent dog-training skills. Until Ollie. Hah. Ha, ha. Hahaha!! Ollie does what Ollie wants, and while he will obey if there is a food reward, it only sticks until the reward has passed his lips. Praise and fussing do nothing for him. He likes it… but not _that_ much! I think he’s pretty happy he’s got _me_ trained. 😉 ---

I’ve mostly owned lizards, snakes and cats. Trainability has never been much of an option, though my now-passed big Savanah Monitor would come to a clicker and tolerated a leash! Which is about the same as ONE of my two cats! Who says mammals are smart?! I kid, it’s not that the cats aren’t smart, but they’re _cats_, and exactly as you say, they look forward to training their “owners” and have no reasons to comply. And snakes are dumber than a box of rocks. Silly things. ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > though my now-passed big Savanah Monitor would come to a clicker and tolerated a leash! That sounds like one very special lizard! > [@ParallelLines](#): > > And snakes are dumber than a box of rocks. Silly things. Yeah, they are, mostly. Although I did have a lovely boa constrictor, name of Monty, who loved to twine himself around my waist while I vacuumed. He really seemed to enjoy it! But in general, I agree. And certainly not trainable. ---

Kasya tends to sleep on her back when she’s in my desk chair. I’ve never had a cat who did that before. I’d suspect it’s an orange thing, but Buddy doesn’t do that. Here’s Kasya’s take on odd sleep positions (she had been asleep before I picked up my phone to take the picture): [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55107536903_6aa9d1dbe7_b.jpg "Still working on the dignity thing") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/seanette/55107536903/) ---

I don’t think you’d better plan on shipping anything in that box. Looks to me like that box is taken. ---
