Loved the video! They are indeed manipulative liars, at least in my experience. Timber hasn't turned his wiles on me yet, but he spends his days trying to think of ways to lure the cats over so he can throw something at them or nip their tails. On the positive side, his tail nips seem to startle them more than hurt them (they jump or look but don't yowl) so I know he is being playful and not "clamping down."
