I have developed a new strategy for the humans, called “bite the hand that doesn’t feed me”!
For instance, me and my loopy sister get treats Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays when they talk to the grown up kitten on the laptop - so she can see us! Quite rightly, she still loves us (although it’s incomprehensible in the case of dimwit sister)!
Saturday night, the giant human man sat on the settee, eating his treats in the crinkly plastic. I tried the sad, sorrowful eyes on him, but no, he just carried on stuffing his mouth! I got more and more frustrated, until I was glaring at him! He put his hand to stroke him, so I bit his hand, something I never do normally!
This worked as the woman felt sorry for me, and got our treats out!
