A Warning For Cat Owners

[catland]

Our female cat, Jan, absolutely loves those treats in a pouch! (although her favorite all-time treats are still coffee-beans )

Our RB-kitty, Crystal, used to love those treats too. We would make her do "tricks" to earn her reward. We would place a treat on the edge of a chair arm, or on a knee, or other places that forced her to actually work for the food.

This allowed us to be able to feed her just 3-5 treats since of course she could only take this total lack of dignity for a limited time.

you are welcome, T and P's mom!

not wanting to spoil my brat i decided to him Temptations as
a treat.......haven't had a package in the house for 5-6 days...


since then i have had a cellophane package of razors open and spilled, a bag of new socks open and examined, the cello covering of a VHS tape attacked and every package, meal and item in my hands examined at length........(if i could teach him to sniff out explosives he could get a job at the airport......or maybe we could get the terrorists to carry "temptations", that way they'd be alot easier to spot......)
I think they'll like all the flavors....... the thing that cracked me up was the actual 'sitting up'.......eddie was up on his haunches begging for more......i thought that there was a chance i could teach him to beg.......that thought disappered pretty quickly when i figured out that HE'D be thinking, "hey, I think i'll get this big oaf to walk over to the treats, open up the bag and repeat over and over again, "Sit up! Sit up! Sit up!"....

I am learning.

Yes, we often question "who is training who?"
