Cat Training


My cats, Max and Duncan, have developed a good-cop/bad-cop routine for getting me to feed them in the morning. When they hear my alarm go off, they both come in my room, ready for some grub. Duncan gets up on my bed and rubs up on my face and purrs while Max watches quietly from the floor. If I don't get up to feed them, and fall back asleep instead, Max gets up on my desk or my dresser and starts knocking stuff off (the more breakable, the better). They've been perfecting this routine over the last few months, and they have trained me well enough that, even if I want to sleep more, I'll get up and feed them first, then crawl back into bed. Those boys are clever little bastards.
