Notes: Remember "Rivalries"? This is what happened afterwards. I'm noticing a dangerous trend here with my Spike and Dawn stories. And yes, you can clicker train a cat. I haven't done it myself, but Karen Pryor has a book on the subject, which you can Google.


Spike eyed his poker winnings, a Siamese kitten cleaning her face on his sarcophagus. He referred to the cat training manual. "Click, treat, eh?" Pressing the clicker, he tossed a piece of ham to her. She devoured it, looking for more. Click, treat, click, treat. By the end of the session, she definitely associated the two.

Two weeks later, Dawn walked into his crypt and was shocked to see a table setting, with napkin, knife, and fork...and a kitten purring placidly on the plate. "Spike!" she shouted, outraged.

He smirked. "That's what you get for rooting for Arsenal, Niblet."
