Fiddles not included
“Clicks & Tricks” is a new training class for cats at the the Dumb Friends League’s Quebec Street shelter, 2080 S. Quebec St. Sit, rollover and high-five are some of the tricks covered in the four-week course — the first of its kind in the region to use clicker-training for kitties. “‘Clicks & Tricks’ shows that cats can be trained to perform desired behaviors,” the league’s associate behavior manager, Ursa Marr, said in a statement about the classes. These classes, costing $40, meet on Wednesday evenings. New sessions are offered monthly. More at or call 303-751-5772, ext. 7629.
