Cats high fiving have been popping up on the internet. This is because there is a program called Cat Pawsitive that is making the round of the animal shelters. It is a training program that teaches cats in shelters to do tricks in particular to give people a high five with its paw. The idea is to make the cats seem more appealing to people and increase their chances of adoption.

It seems the program is working. Cats are getting adopted. Anything that helps a shelter cat find a home is a good thing. For a shy cat it might be just enough to get it noticed by a potential family. I admire the patience of the people who are training the cats. It must take a lot to get the cats to respond at first.
The Cat Pawsitive is the brainchild of Jackson Galaxy, host of Animal Planet's show "My Cat From Hell".
I haven't actually watched the show, but now I am curious to see the person who can actually train a cat.
