Pantera is a very tough, alpha male cat that looks and acts like a Panther. Hence, the name.
When I pull his tail, he falls over with a concerted 'umpff ' noise, and then purrs very loudly, as if to say, "pet me, please. " Amazing for such a 'bad' cat.
I tried this with Stinky the Cat out on the driveway. Once. She just looked back at me as if to say, "what's THIS nonsense? "
We didn't try that again for several years. Later in life, she actually enjoyed this little game. Though she would not 'fall over' for anyone. Which goes to show, you CAN teach an old cat some new tricks. As long as she fully approves of the trick ahead of time.
