Train them to sand and other tasks you don't like.

Now if they start turning out pieces better then yourself, then your in trouble, or in luck depending on your prospective. I have a feeling they will catch up to me real quick.

If our cats had opposable thumbs, we'd be in big trouble. As it is, they can be pretty clever about getting into food, turning over the trash, and causing other kinds of petty mischief

And they sure know how to put on an act, especially when they want food.

I can hold a small "treat' in my closed hand and my rats will gently pull back my fingers with thier paws until they can get to the food. They are almost as smart as the dog and way less attitude than the cat.
