Dear George,
I'm quite disturbed by Toby's last week
letter and the fact that these young kids, sorry kittens, might get the wrong
message! For their sake I want to set the record straight and I need, of
course, your help! What was most disturbing about the video Toby posted was the
fact that these kids might get the idea that "they have to work" for
food which you and I know it's a nonsense! So, I'm going to list some rules
that hopefully all kittens will follow. And, you my dear friend are more then
welcome to complete my list as you are the Master!
Rule
# 1: Never ever sweat the small stuff! You do not
need to jump over any bar to get food. It might be fun when you are young and
full of energy but think about older cats that might not be able to jump over
and over. Then...what? Are they going to starve? No! Here is all you need to do
- see my photo # 1 (that's how I ask for food).
Rule
# 2: Never show your human you liked the food! Even
if you like the food and want more....don't show it. Instead, pretend that you
did them a favour by eating some (make sure you leave a bit in your bowl) and
then....ignore them, look away (my photo # 2). I can guarantee you they will worry
about this; why you didn't finish your dinner? maybe you didn't like it? maybe
you want something else? Guaranteed....they will open another can :-)
Rule
# 3: Never ever follow or obey to any of their instructions! You can have infinite fun by fooling them giving them the impression
that wow! they trained you! The minute they brag about ...act completely dumb!
This will confuse them to no end and make them look stupid in their friends'
eyes:-)
Rule
# 4: Make sure YOU RUN the house! Make sure you got
them wrapped around your little paws first.... before following these rules
especially if you are a rescue. This way you avoid re-homing!
Now, I would let George to share his wisdom
and give the young generation some solid advice!
Happy Valentine's Day to all cats (and
their humble humans)
Lovely purrs
FluffyDear Fluffy,
I cannot add to your letter. You have laid it out on the line. I have always said that every kitten should start as they mean to go on - training their humans into willing and eager obedience.
Obviously your method works. Your splendid Rubinesque figure shows that beyond doubt.
I bow to your superior sense.
Yours respectfully
George.

Happy Valentine's Day!

ReplyDeleteGeorge, could it be possible that Sir Peter Paul Rubens added one too many coat of paint to Fluffy's?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure all that Rubinesque figure is mostly fur - after all she is fluffy :-)
But...for you to be out of advice? Hm! Hope it is just temporarily!

I love your rules Fluffy! God forbid our kids to think they have to work for a living :-)
