Yesterday we talked a lot about the fact that cats can\u2019t be trained. However, did you know that there are competitions for cats? Yes, there are cats who participate in agility courses. I recall watching a cat agility competition once on the computer. I found it charming and humorous that they kept having to take time out and do-overs in order to accommodate the cats in the contest. Not every cat, you see, wanted to do his routine on command. And the judges made allowances for this.<\/p>\n
What does a cat agility course look like? It is a series of jumps, tunnels and other obstacles in a variety of arrangements and there\u2019s evidently no right or wrong way for a cat to approach the challenges. The contestant cats are allowed to think for themselves\u2014figure things out.<\/p>\n
Think about it, cats are naturally agile. According to experts, a cat can run 30 mph. No wonder you can\u2019t catch an escaped cat without tricking it. However, tricking a cat is also difficult since they can jump 6 times its height and his memory is so long. Yeah, a cat\u2019s short-term memory, they say, is 16 hours. A dog\u2019s is 10 minutes. And how high can a dog jump? Only one times its height.<\/p>\n
The first cat agility competition was in 2003 and I guess this is quite the sport now at many cat shows<\/p>\n
Do you think your cat would do well on the agility course for cats circuit? Keep in mind that your cat would probably not do it to please you, like a dog might. A cat does agility competition because it pleases them. Learn more at the following sites.<\/p>\n
