Gangster Queens
And just for your information – Mom manipulated our catsitters. Of course she had a separate section on treats on her looooooong list of instructions and suggested several ways of making us work for treats. Bah. Why does Mom want us to work for treats? And not enough with puzzles – our live-in maid, Nickisreading , went one step further: she wanted to test our tricks.
Mom was so satisfied with herself that she bragged of our clicker training when she met Nickisreading. We know for example how to high-five, but Mom realized that we’re afraid of her hand when her palm is above our heads. We look like Mom’s going to slap us, and it’s not hard to guess what we may have experienced with human hands in our previous life. So we’re now learning a tougher version of high-five (honestly, we’re dangerous predators and high-five is for sissies!): a gangster greeting ritual ! We knock Mom’s fist, then we look to the right, then to the left and finally knock again.
So this endeavored catsitter wanted us to knock her fist, too! Bah. Tessa did her best to show that we’re indeed dangerous gangster kitties and won’t work on our ritual with outsiders. So Tessa flashed her fangs, but this silly girl didn’t know her own best and pointed on Tessa’s paws.
Hehehe. You can probably guess how this story ended: an injured catsitter on her way to the hospital! And best of all, she left the treat bag on the floor while she screamed in pain and tried to control the bleeding!

MOL! No cat should have to work for treats. 😉

Word!! Mom says that any animal, including humans, have to work for treats (and food and shelter). Ok, there’re some exceptions among humans. Hm, but why should we work if we make already her work to buy us treats?

That was a cute video 🙂

Maybe, but it damages our reputation.

Haha, when you are cat, you can be dangerous and adorable at the same time 🙂
Goro does high five, too, but often it’s more like grabbing hand to get treat faster!

Oh, the claw thing…. Well, Mom’s working on teaching us to only tap her hand and not grip. It’s good that she’s something to do! It’ll keep her busy for many years to come!
