Zuzu's brother Kodi is doing agility training and apparently enjoying it a lot. Ron told me I should try it for Zuzu and here is what I responded with:
Hmmm... Zuzu and agility... I'm not sure those two words go together!
Here are some examples of how NOT agile Zuzu is
- She won't push her way through the door on the screened in porch. There's no latch, it just swings open, but she'll push her nose against it and then stand back as it gently swings back toward her, then bark like crazy and push it again. I even put a plate full of STEAK on the ground on the other side, and she was too afraid to go through it!
- While playing fetch today, she tripped over a rock. Not a big rock - a little rock. She yelped, limped around for a minute, then went back to running.
- When chasing water spray in the air, she decided to do a twisty jump like one of those frisbee catching dogs and landed on her back. Yup. Her back. I think our cat needs to give her some lessons on how to land on her feet.
- Hard wood floors still baffle her. At least once a week she turns a corner too quickly and just slides, sprawled out across the floor.
- Stairs work for her...if she's paying attention. If not, she's got a 50/50 shot of landing on her feet at the bottom vs. her chin.
Do they have agility clowns, like they have rodeo clowns? Maybe Zuzu could be one of those, sort of as the comic relief between actual competitors!
