Well, it turns out that the kitten will do ANYTHING for a pounce treat, so
there's really no point to teaching her to roll over.  So, i've decided to
try to teach one of my HOUSEMATES to roll over instead.  Thing is, i now
have to find something that will make them roll over on command.  Since they
already know what 'roll over' means, having observed me trying to teach my
ferrets and the kitten, it rolls over to reason that all i need to do is
find a suitable reward.  Liiiiike, "Roll over and i'll give you the tv
remote back!" Or maybe i could use threats..."I'll put this ferret down your
shirt unless you roll over!"
