Poor Otis. He's going to fire me once he figures out what I did.

Both Otis and Chester have undergone intensive training courtesy of "Guide to a Well-Behaved Cat" by Phil Maggitti. After tireless work together, they learned to sit for a treat after about three months. I gave up on the lying down part a few weeks after that.

Anyway, I had Otis sitting for a very tasty little piece of beef when the errant thought came into my head. I wondered if he would go up on his hind legs for a piece of beef. Of course he would. He's a pig with fur - a heat pig with fur. Up he went. Otis begged for beef.

I am so ashamed.
