They do seem to be following suit, mind Tucker was the first to do it but is hit and miss, Colin is much better and efficient!

As for only monkeys copying, not sure for the cats as they could just be learning it themselves I suppose but I could put it right out the window with the dogs for sure. They definitely learn things from each other, i'm 100% on that! Also I have found that a puppy is so much easier to train when you have nice adults as role models, they tend to learn much faster and they definitely copy the bad as well as the good! I can't understand how animals would learn in the wild otherwise? To hunt e.t.c? Surely can't be 100% instinct and learning through fail and sucess?

I could do but if I opt for knobs they'd all have to match!

So now I need to figure out who the typist and internet wiz is?

And door opening could be so convenient to them! Remember my lot got into the box of pouches and spilled the gravy through all the little puncture holes they made in the foils!

Re: Colin opening the door!


Leia learned early on how to open the door in the hall chest ..... do you think they are sending messages telepathically? I do think cats have some sort of ESP .....
